Included in the adoption fee:

Hi there. My name is Purrscilla.

I’m a demure lady with a quiet, unassuming presence.

Shelter life has been an adjustment for me — all the hustle and bustle is a bit overwhelming for my shy nature. Well I may be timid, but I’m tender too. I’ll quietly meow for attention, and enjoy the tranquil companionship of a gentle human. I’m sure you’ll notice I’m quite the catch, with my snow white coat offsetting lime green eyes.

I’d love to find my forever home for the holidays, so I can enjoy time with family. Could it be you?

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I'm thinking about getting into the trades, but I'm not sure how to do that? How do I find a job as an apprentice?

Signed Ready to Trade Jobs Dear Ready: The trades are an excellent career option for many reasons.

First, you will spend about 80 per cent of your time earning a wage while you learn on the job. First-year apprentices earn about half of a journeyman's wage.

Do you have a work-related question?

Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.

You spend the rest of your time learning at a technical training provider. Technical training is usually six to eight weeks per year.

Apprenticeship programs can last anywhere from one to four years, depending on the trade. As you take more training and get more experience, your pay increases.

Second, the trades are rewarding. Tradespeople tend to earn good wages plus they have the opportunity to move up into management roles. Many tradespeople also go on to teach apprentices or open their own businesses.

Third, tradespeople can be eligible for thousands of dollars in grants, including: • $750 First Period Apprentice Award • $1,000 Apprenticeship Incentive Grant • $2,000 Apprenticeship Completion Grant Apprentices and tradespeople may be eligible for a $500 tax deduction to help with the cost of their tools. Apprentices and occupational trainees can also apply for scholarships through the Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training Board. Check out tradesecrets.alberta.ca/scholarships for more information.

Fourth, there are so many career options within the trades that you are bound to find something you really like. The trades are not limited to plumbers and electricians. In Alberta, there are more than 50 different designated trades and occupations that you can apprentice in, from appliance service technician to cook to well-testing services supervisor. For a complete list, visit tradesecrets.alberta.ca.

How to get started 1. Pick your trade. Get as much information as you can about your choices from the ALIS web site (alis.alberta.ca), Trade Secrets website, school career counselors, tradespeople you know, or your nearest Apprenticeship and Industry Training Office.

2. Find an employer who will hire you as an apprentice. Getting a job as an apprentice is no different than finding any other job.

3. Apply. Once you have a job, you and your employer need to complete an Apprenticeship Training Application.

Tips for finding a job as an Apprentice: • Prepare a professional-looking resumé and cover letter that explains your career goal.

• Dress your best when you go out to meet employers.

• Be courteous and grateful for any help or advice employers provide.

• Search job postings and job boards like the Canada-Alberta Job Bank jobbank.gc.ca using the keyword “apprentice”.

• Check with the local union about employment opportunities.

• Attend job fairs and talk to employers who hire tradespeople. You can find out about upcoming job fairs at humanservices.alberta.ca/jobfairs.

• Visit your nearest Alberta Works Centre. You can find the office nearest you by clicking on: humanservices.alberta.ca/offices.

To get more information about apprenticeship and careers in the trades, visit tradesecrets.alberta.ca or call 1-800-248-4823 to talk to someone at Apprenticeship and Industry Training.
