Apprenticeships
Every apprentice that comes through Local 586 must complete mandatory training before heading to college. The education department offers in-house training to prepare apprentices for each level of trade school. We offer our apprentices one on one tutoring as well as online tutoring. For our apprentices that are approaching their interprovincial exam, we offer a pre-exam course to help give members that extra push needed to pass the IP. 98% of members that complete the pre-exam course pass their IP. These mandatory courses guarantee that Local 586 apprentices are prepared for trade school and insure they have the best chance to become a licensed electrician.
