Pre-Trades Programs at Ontario Colleges

Preparing for a Skilled Trades career

The trades industry is always in need of skilled professionals, but without prior experience, it can be difficult to decide which trade to pursue. Pre-trades programs at Ontario colleges expose students to a variety of skilled trades by providing hands-on experience in each, so students can familiarize themselves with [or become familiar with] what the industry has to offer. After completion of these programs, students have a better idea of which skilled trade program to pursue and which career path is the right choice.

If you’re interested in the trades and want to get more experience before starting on your skilled trades career path, here’s what you need to know. More
