Trades - Apprenticeship Vermilion Apprenticeship Offices Provincial Building 4701 - 52 Street, Box 26 Vermilion, Alberta T9X 1J9 800 248 4823

How much does an apprentice earn?

Apprentices earn a percentage of the journeyman wage in their trade at the company with which they are employed. The wage varies from 40% to 90% of the journeyman’s wage, depending on the trade and on how much training the apprentice has completed, and increases as the apprentice progresses from one level of training to the next.

An employer must pay a RAP apprentice at least the basic minimum wage.

New Park Place 5201 - 44 Street Bonnyville, Alberta T9N 2J4 780 826 6142 Out-of-province students contact a provincial Apprenticeship Office.

Apprenticeship is an education and training system that teaches trade knowledge and skills through on-the-job training and formal instruction. About 80% of the instruction is actual on-the-job training, provided by an employer, where the apprentice is supervised by a journeyman. The remaining 20% of the training involves formal instruction, provided by various post-secondary institutions.

Entrance and Application: • You must find suitable employment with an employer who is a journeyman or employs a journeyman in the trade of your choice.

• Once employed, apprenticeship application forms must be signed by you and your employer. These forms are available from the regional offices.

• If you think you have related work experience and/or training which could be credited toward your apprenticeship, discuss it with your employer and request credit on the application form.

• You must meet educational qualifications required for the trade in which you apply or you will be required to write an approved entrance exam.

• Once your application for apprenticeship is approved and your school transcripts or entrance exam marks are recorded, final approval is given and contracts are drawn up.

Contracts: A contract is signed by both the apprentice and the employer. Once signed, the contract is registered with AIT and an identification card, course outline booklet, and an apprentice record book are issued. At this point, apprenticeship training begins.

What is RAP? The Registered Apprenticeship Program is a modified apprenticeship program that permits a high school student to become an apprentice.

A RAP apprentice accumulates hours of on-the-job training as credit towards his/her apprenticeship program and credit toward a high school diploma.

How long is an apprenticeship training program?

Apprenticeship programs vary with each trade. The longest programs run for four periods of training (about four years). A period of training for each trade usually consists of two components – a specific number of hours of on-the-job training and a set amount of formal instruction. The formal instruction ranges from three to 12 weeks per period.

Lakeland College 2019-2020

1 800 661 6490

To progress from one period of training to the next, an apprentice must: • Successfully complete the formal instruction.

• Have the required hours of on-the-job training and a satisfactory report from the supervisor.

• Pass the apprenticeship examination for that period of training (70%).

• Have the record book stamped by the nearest Career Development Centre, Alberta Learning – Apprenticeship and Industry Training (AIT).

The employer will: • Update the apprentice’s record book, recording the on-the-job training provided, hours worked, type of work performed and evaluate the apprentice.

• Forward the record book to the nearest Career Development Centre, AIT for stamping.

After completing these steps, an apprentice’s wages should increase to the next level for that trade. The level may differ with each employer, but are based on the journeyman wage rate at that company.

The apprentice is responsible for: • Completing required on-the-job training as assigned by the employer.

• At the end of each period of apprenticeship, reviewing with his/her supervisor:

- The hours worked.

- The on-the-job training completed.

- Ensuring that his/her record is updated at the end of each period and forwarded to the nearest Career Development Centre, AIT for completion.

• Making arrangements to meet personal financial needs while attending formal instruction.

• Acquiring the textbooks and supplies required for formal instruction.

• Successfully completing the requirements of the formal instruction.

• Successfully completing the required examinations • Advising the department:

- If he/she becomes unemployed or employed by another person so that the contract of apprenticeship can be transferred.

- If there is a change in address or employment.

• Carrying his/her apprenticeship identification card at all times while at work and producing it on request.

• Registration for classes at the institution of his/her choice.

For updates, see our website: www.lakelandcollege.ca

Trades - Apprenticeship The employer is responsible for: • Providing on-the-job training to the apprentice under the supervision of a journeyman.

• Paying the apprentice’s wages.

• Providing time away from work so that the apprentice can complete the required formal instruction.

• Maintaining the apprentice’s record book.

An Alberta Journeyman Certificate is granted to an apprentice who: • Completes the required hours of on-the-job training and receives a satisfactory report from the supervisor.

• Successfully completes the formal instruction.

• Passes all required examinations.

• Has forwarded his/her record book to the Career Development Centre, AIT for completion.

When an apprentice receives an Alberta Journeyman Certificate, he can use the term “certified” with the name of the trade. Journeyman wages should now be paid.

Where can the journeyman work?

The Alberta Journeyman Certificate is valid in Alberta and may be recognized in other provinces. If the journeyman holds a certificate in one of the Interprovincial Standards (Red Seal) trades and is interested in working in another province, he/she can write an Interprovincial Standards Program (Red Seal) exam.

Prospective students are encouraged to make early contact with the College, participate in enrolment events such as Open House or Student-for-a-Day, and attend information sessions to learn more about the program and its options. Visit the College website for events and details: lakelandcollege.ca

Our smaller campus setting also makes it easy for students to get involved in extra-curricular activities such as recreation, student government, and social events. Our wide variety of Student Services provides resources for financial, personal, academic and health concerns.

Admission Requirements: Students with a solid average and a broad range of academiclevel Grade 12 courses are best prepared to meet the prerequisite requirements for a variety of programs and institutions.

Regular applicants to UT normally present an Alberta or Saskatchewan high school diploma with five 30-level, academic subjects completed with a combined average of 60% or higher (with no subject lower than 50%). However, the requirements for different degrees and institutions vary.

The minimum requirement for admission to the University Transfer (UT) program is Alberta’s English 30-1 or Saskatchewan’s English A30/B30 or equivalent. (English entrance exam testing is available).

Other high school prerequisites depend upon the courses, degree, and university to which students intend to transfer. (See next column for the prerequisites listed for the individual routes). Students pursuing degrees that require the following courses should be aware of these course-specific prerequisites.

Note: UT students taking an upgrading course may enroll in a maximum of three University Transfer courses in that semester.

Applicants from other provinces and those with courses not listed here should refer to the Provincial High School Subject Level Equivalencies chart in the Application and Admission section of the Lakeland College Calendar.

Students with Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses should consult the Alberta Transfer Guide at www.transferalberta.ca or the university. Credit in AP and IB courses will be considered by the degree-granting institution, not the University Transfer department; therefore, it is important to check with the receiving institution.

International Applicants: At minimum, international students need to meet the ENGL 30-1 (or equivalent) entrance requirement and provide proof of English language proficiency. Those who plan to pursue a degree in the sciences or related field also need the appropriate high school prerequisites for those routes; normally, these will be verified by an IQAS (International Qualifications Assessment Service) evaluation.The time to complete an evaluation can take up to 12 weeks, so students need to plan ahead. International students also need to contact the receiving institution directly for their specific requirements; some university departments may have restrictions on international applicants.

University Transfer Transferring Course Work Lakeland College’s University Transfer courses normally are modeled on corresponding courses at the University of Alberta (U of A). Official transfer agreements “match” courses at one institution to courses at another institution and are recorded in the provincial transfer guides. The transfer college (Lakeland College) is considered the “sending institution” and is responsible for negotiating agreements with the universities to which students commonly transfer, otherwise known as “receiving institutions”. Ultimately, the “receiving institutions” determine whether or not they will accept the transfer courses from the “sending institution.” When a formal agreement is made, it is generally recorded through the Registrar’s Offices at both institutions and–in Alberta–recorded in their official guide.

The Alberta Transfer Guide (available at www.transferalberta.ca) provides a listing of Lakeland College courses that are transferable within the province.

A publicly accessible, formal transfer system for the province of Saskatchewan is no longer active. The University of Saskatchewan (U of S) and University of Regina (U of R) maintain publicly accessible databases of transfer credit on their websites at: http://explore.usask.ca/admissions/transfer/ and www.uregina.ca/student/registrar/transfer-credit.

Canada does not have a nation-wide transfer system, but many students have transferred successfully to universities in other provinces and the USA. Students who enter UT intending to pursue a degree outside of Alberta or Saskatchewan are encouraged to make contact with the receiving institution early in the process. The universities may request copies of course outlines, sample assignments, and exams, so it can be a time-consuming process.

The Academic Advisor will aid in the process as possible. However, the final decision on transferability is at the discretion of the receiving institution and will not be confirmed until the student applies to the receiving institution and submits final, official transcripts from the sending institution.

Generally, course transfers run smoothly. However, there are legitimate reasons that courses may not transfer.

Roles and Responsibilities: The college experience works best when we communicate and work together. Here are some tips on how to do that.

Academic Advising is a partnership and shared respibility between students and advisors. Academic Advisors at Lakeland College provide information and resources that help students make informed decisions about their course selection and transfer options. However, students are ultimately responsible for ensuring that their course registration is complete and appropriate for their desired program of study and that they meet individual course pre-requisite and graduation requirements. Student who change their routes should be aware that there may not be room in the new program for all previously completed courses.

Students intending to transfer to another post-secondary institution should be aware of the following: •

Admission to Lakeland College and completion of courses does not guarantee admission to programs at other institutions. Studend must also meeth the entrance requirements of the post-secondary institution which may include specific high school pre-requisites, as well as minimum and/ or competitive GPAs.

•

Students must also follow the admission procedures of the receiving institution which included submission of transcripts (high school, postsecondary, and advanced placement marks), adhere to deadlines, and payment of fees.

•

There may be quotas on the number of students admitted to the program at the receiving institution. For example, some programs may admit a limited number of out-of-province or international students.

•

Some receiving institutions specify a minimum grade for transfer credit.

•

Courses may be “too old” to transfer as-depending upon the area-they may have a “shelf life” (a time limit on the granting of transfer credit).

•

When applying to post-secondary institutions, students need to carefully read and follow all information supplied by that institution. All students are strongly advised to refer to the Academic Calendar of the receiving institution and should contact appropriate departments regarding specific requirements.

If students encounter problems with transferring credits, they are encouraged to bring all documentation and contact names from the receiving institution to the Lakeland College Registrar’s Office or Academic Advisor for review.

Course Load: A normal course load is five courses per semester which equals 15 credits per semester or 30 credits per year. Each course is valued at three credits, except ANPH 210, ENGL 112 and TPIS 101 which are six credits. Students may attend either part time or full time but should be aware that some institutions and programs require a minimum number of credits to transfer.

Popular Transfer Routes: The programs of study on the following pages are a sample of the most common transfer routes available to UT students. Because the Lloydminster Campus is located between Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and Edmonton, Alberta, many students will transfer to the University of Saskatchewan (USask) or University of Alberta (U of A); therefore, in many cases, the popular routes focus on those two universities. However, transfer agreements are also in place for other post-secondary institutions in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and many transfer options exist for other routes.

The department recognizes that many students are interested in starting at Lakeland College and pursuing degrees in specialized areas such as Engineering, Kinesiology, or Nursing, but; because of the specific nature of coursework in those types of programs, a full year (30 credits) of transferable credit may not be possible. Students are able to take a first year of general sciences and then apply to Engineering; however, admission is competitive and students will not receive transfer credit for a full year of study. The total amount of time to finish the degree would be five years (not four). The requirements for a Kinesiology (or Phys Ed) degree vary greatly between programs and institutions. In general, UT offers some of the core requirements of a Kinesiology degree but does not offer many Physical Education courses, so due to the sequencing of courses students may require five years (not four) to complete the degree if they begin their studies here. Students are able to spend a pre-professional year of study at Lakeland College and then apply to transfer to the USask’s Nursing program. However, students planning to apply to other Nursing degrees would not receive a full year of transferable coursework and would need five years (not four) to complete their degree. Students interested in these degrees should discuss their options with the university.

University Transfer General Information Completion of University Transfer courses does not guarantee admission to degree programs at universities. A student must also meet all the admission requirements of the degree-granting institution. This may mean having the appropriate high school courses and average. Admission after completing UT courses is competitive. There may be limitations (quotas) on the number of students admitted to the degree program at the receiving institution.

Some receiving institutions specify a minimum grade for transfer credit.

Students who change programs or receiving institutions should be aware that there may not be room in the new program for all previously completed courses.

Prospective students are encouraged to make early contact with the College, participate in enrolment events such as Open House or Student-for-a- Day, and attend information sessions to learn more about the UT program and its options. Visit the College website at lakelandcollege.ca for events and details.

Overview of Program Routes Bachelor of Arts (B.A.): This degree is designed to provide students with a liberal arts education. Many career opportunities are available to graduates of an Arts degree – from psychologists to police officers to politicians. Students develop diverse skills in research, communication, writing, organization, critical thinking, and analysis that are applicable to many careers. A B.A. may also provide preparation for further study such as Law, Masters, or AfterDegree programs.

Bachelor of Commerce: A business degree opens many doors. Graduates may pursue opportunities in government and large enterprises or become partners or owners of small firms. The types of positions graduates hold in these organizations range from systems analysts to financial analysts, from sales managers to accountants. The commerce degree may also provide preparation for further study towards professional designations such as CPA or professional programs in Law or MBA (Masters in Business Administration).

Bachelor of Science: Many students will begin their studies in a general science program in order to fulfil the requirements for another area of study (such as Pharmacy, Medicine, or Dentistry). However, there are many areas of study and career options with a Bachelor of Science degree. Graduates may pursue careers in consulting or research and areas of interest such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals or environment.

Medical Laboratory Science: The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta (U of A) offers an undergraduate degree program in Medical Laboratory Science to meet the demand for more highly qualified research laboratory personnel; for senior and supervisory technologists in large hospitals, government, and private laboratories; and for teaching positions in various schools of medical laboratory technology. Those wishing to enroll in the program must complete a full-time, pre-professional year of study, followed by three years in the Division of Medical Laboratory Science of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the U of A. Students spend one year in practical hospital training, rotating through public and private laboratories. Graduates become important members of a health care team, performing a variety of laboratory tests and procedures which assist in diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases.

Pre-Dental Hygiene: The University of Alberta’s (U of A’s) Dental Hygiene diploma program consists of one year of pre-professional study followed by years two, three, and four in the dental hygiene degree program to complete Bachelor of Science (Dental Hygiene Specialization).

The dental hygienist is an integral member of the health care team and strives to improve oral health by providing preventive services and educational information to the public. Clinical dental hygiene services may include assessing patients’ health status, inspecting hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity, removing deposits and stains from teeth, exposing and developing dental radiographs, applying topical fluorides, administering anesthetic, taking impressions for study models, and polishing amalgam restorations. Educational information may include nutritional and oral hygiene counseling and community dental health program planning, implementation, and evaluation.

Dentistry: According to the Canadian Dental Association, dentistry is an artistic as well as scientific profession. Dentists must have an artist’s aesthetic sense, an eye for detail and the manual dexterity to perform precise procedures in a small area. Dentists must also be good communicators who can interact well with a diverse group of people. Visit the Canadian Dental Association website at www.cda-adc.ca to learn more about the profession and the required Dental Aptitude Test (DAT).

Nursing: The University of Saskatchewan’s new four-year College of Nursing undergraduate program was introduced in 2011 with a first year of preprofessional studies in arts and sciences followed by three years of nursing education. This unique program will appeal to those with a strong academic standing, an attitude of curiosity and inquiry, and a genuine interest in caring for diverse people of all ages. Graduates will earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and will play a vital role in health care in Saskatchewan and beyond.

Nutrition: According to the USask website, dieticians and nutritionists advise and educate people about food, diet, and nutrition. This may focus on the nutritional needs of certain members of the population such as children, senior citizens, or low-income families. They may work under provincial regulatory bodies to ensure that clients receive safe and ethical advice. To become a Registered Dietician, students need to complete the degree, a professional internship (which is included within the degree at the USask), and the Canadian Dietetic Registration Examination. See the Dieticians of Canada website for more details: www.dietitians.ca Students at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) take one year of pre-nutrition and then apply to the four-year program. Admission is based upon the post-secondary academic record, critical skills essay, and personal profile. Quotas are in effect. See the Nutrition webpage for the definition of a “Saskatchewan Resident”.

University Transfer Overview of Program Routes continued Pharmacy: Qualifications for registration as a licensed pharmacist for most provinces in Canada include a bachelor’s or doctor of pharmacy degree from an accredited program, completion of the national board exam through the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada, and completion of structured practical experience through an apprenticeship/internship program. See the appropriate university calendar or website for more information about the profession and requirements. As a profession, pharmacy is changing so visit the Canadian Pharmacists’ Association for additional details: http://www. pharmacists.ca/ Veterinary Medicine: Members of the profession of Veterinary Medicine are primarily responsible for the health of farm livestock and poultry, as well as pets. Veterinarians diagnose animal illnesses, treat diseased and injured animals, perform surgery, provide preventive medical services, and provide advice regarding the care and breeding of animals. However, other opportunities exist in government service and public health, such as inspection of production and storage and distribution of animal food products. Research opportunities are also available.

Prospective veterinarians must complete at least two years of pre-professional study followed by a four-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program. Because of the competitive nature of the program, most applicants for DVM programs will have to complete more than two years of university work in a related faculty such as science or agriculture before being admitted to the degree program. Students are, therefore, encouraged to explore other options in science as a “back-up” plan.

Social Work: According to the Canadian Association of Social Workers, social work is a profession concerned with helping individuals, families, groups and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being. It aims to help people develop their skills and their ability to use their own resources and those of the community to resolve problems. Social work is concerned with individual and personal problems but also with broader social issues such as poverty, unemployment and domestic violence. Social workers provide services as members of a team or on a one-to-one basis.

The duties performed by social workers depend upon the settings in which they work. Social workers employed by child welfare agencies (public and private) investigate cases of family violence, child abuse and neglect and take protective action as required; they may recruit foster parents, supervise the placement of children in protective care, or work on adoption cases. Many school boards hire social workers to help students adjust to the school environment and to help students, parents and teachers to deal with problems such as aggressive behavior, truancy and family problems. In general and psychiatric hospitals, social workers provide a link between the treatment team, the family, and community resources. In health and community services centers, social workers may provide counseling to individuals, families, and seniors. In the correctional field, social workers may be part of a team concerned with the social rehabilitation of young or adult offenders. They may work as classification officers, probation officers, or parole officers. Social workers in private practice offer their services on a fee-for-service basis to individuals, families and organizations; their services include counseling, psychotherapy, mediation, sex therapy, policy and program development, organizational development, and employee assistance programs. Government departments and social planning councils may employ social workers in policy analysis, policy development and planning. Researchers are found in universities and governments. Others are teaching in universities and community colleges. To learn more, visit www.casw-acts.ca.

Note: 1. The following courses may transfer to the USask, but cannot be used for credit in the Arts and Sciences degree: EDU 210, EDU 100, EDPY 304, HEED 100, PEDS 293, PEDS 294. Students may take those courses for personal interest, but will not receive credit in the Arts and Science degree at the U of S. For more details, visit: artsandscience.usask.ca/undergraduate/handouts/Transfer_Courses_from_Other_Colleges_.pdf 2. Students beginning their studies in UT will have the most options with the following combinations of teaching areas:

a. Teaching Area 1 (TA1): Social Studies/Social Science and Teaching Area 2 (TA2): English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math, or Drama

b. TA1: English, and TA2: Social Studies/Social Science

Other options are available, but a full year (5 courses each semester), will not be achieved.

3. An additional three credits of Metabolism Biochemistry are also required. Students may take two years of sciences at Lakeland College and transfer to a science program at the U of S to complete the remaining 30 credits of pre-professional requirements.

4. Students take 19 University Transfer courses, plus the required SOWK 201 (U of C), or SOWK 240 (MacEwan).

5. UT students may complete some of the required courses and some electives in their first year and then apply to transfer to the university (either the U of R or USask) for their second year. In year two, transfer students would continue in the pre-Social Work program and take INDG 100 and SW 100 (required for admission to the BSW). Both of these courses are offered online, and so students now have the option to complete all the requirements for the BSW in year 1 by taking a combination of in-class and online courses. If students choose not to do the online courses, they would apply to “Pre-Social Work” at the university instead.

6. With the addition of BIOL 207 as a requirement, and the sequencing of our courses, students will now take the 30 credit requirements over 2 years.

This allows them to start working towards a back-up plan.

7. With the addition of 6 credits of Human Physiology, students can now take 30 of 60 credits at Lakeland. Students will then transfer to the sciences at U of A to complete the remaining 30 credits of pre-professional requirements.
