Students receive work experience in an operating environment assigned by the practicum coordinator. Students must have a 65% average as a pre-requisite for the practicum. Students must attend a minimum of 90% of the work experience days. Lakeland College and the host will jointly determine a Pass/Fail upon successfully completing the work experience.

At any time before or during the practicum, a drug and alcohol test could be requested by the host; positive test result will lead to dismissal and an inconclusive grade for the practicum component of the course.

Many Canadians who wish to pursue a career in the skilled trades face financial barriers. That's why the Government of Canada created the Apprenticeship Incentive Grant (AIG). The AIG is a taxable cash grant of $1,000 per year for registered apprentices once they have successfully completed their first or second year/level (or equivalent) of an apprenticeship program in one of the Red Seal trades. The AIG is meant to help apprentices cover some of the expenses related to tuition, travel and tools.

If the student is absent for 12 hours, another report will be sent to the chair and a meeting will be scheduled with the student to address the absenteeism.
