APPRENTICESHIP
Becoming a Journeyperson: Skilled workers (journeypersons) are in
high demand in a broad range of occupations and make an important
contribution to Canadas economic growth. If you are interested in becoming
a journeyperson, you must first complete an apprenticeship. Women are
encouraged to investigate the significant benefits of a career in a skilled
occupation.
Apprenticeship: Apprenticeship is an agreement between an individual who
wants to learn a skill and an employer who needs a skilled worker. It is a
combination of in-school training and on-the-job experience. An apprenticeship
can last two to five years, depending on the program. As an apprentice,
about 90% of your time is spent learning practical skills on the job, while
supervised by a qualified journeyperson. The rest is spent learning theoretical
and technical aspects of your trade. Over time, the apprenticeship system of
training has proven to be one of the worlds most successful ways to learn.
On-the-Job Experience: Once you have decided which occupation best suits
your interests and talents, it is up to you to find an employer willing to employ
you as an apprentice.
In-School Training: Conestoga College provides the in-school training portion
for a variety of skilled trades. You will be released from work to attend trade
school either in a block or one-day-a-week format, depending on the trade and
delivery options.
Registration: Registration occurs after an employer is found. At that time
the employer or apprentice may call the local Apprenticeship and Client
Services Office to request registration and have a contract prepared. Once
you are a registered apprentice and have received your Offer of Classroom
Training Form, classroom training fees apply. Applicants are registered on a
first-come, first-serve basis. You are not required to pay classroom fees while
participating in OYAP. You may also view the apprenticeship web site at: www.

APPRENTICESHIP
Becoming a Journeyperson: Skilled workers (journeypersons) are in
high demand in a broad range of occupations and make an important
contribution to Canadas economic growth. If you are interested in becoming
a journeyperson, you must first complete an apprenticeship. Women are
encouraged to investigate the significant benefits of a career in a skilled
occupation.
Apprenticeship: Apprenticeship is an agreement between an individual who
wants to learn a skill and an employer who needs a skilled worker. It is a
combination of in-school training and on-the-job experience. An apprenticeship
can last two to five years, depending on the program. As an apprentice,
about 90% of your time is spent learning practical skills on the job, while
supervised by a qualified journeyperson. The rest is spent learning theoretical
and technical aspects of your trade. Over time, the apprenticeship system of
training has proven to be one of the worlds most successful ways to learn.
On-the-Job Experience: Once you have decided which occupation best suits
your interests and talents, it is up to you to find an employer willing to employ
you as an apprentice.
In-School Training: Conestoga College provides the in-school training portion
for a variety of skilled trades. You will be released from work to attend trade
school either in a block or one-day-a-week format, depending on the trade and
delivery options.
Registration: Registration occurs after an employer is found. At that time
the employer or apprentice may call the local Apprenticeship and Client
Services Office to request registration and have a contract prepared. Once
you are a registered apprentice and have received your Offer of Classroom
Training Form, classroom training fees apply. Applicants are registered on a
first-come, first-serve basis. You are not required to pay classroom fees while
participating in OYAP. You may also view the apprenticeship web site at: www.
apprenticesearch.com
For more information, call the Apprenticeship Office at 519-653-5758 or 1-866877-0099. If you have questions pertaining to the in-school training portion, call

DEGREE
This four-year co-op degree program is for individuals who want to have an
impact on the health-care system at a broad conceptual and strategic level.
The health industry is continually challenging us with new issues and problems.
- How can we make waiting times in emergency rooms shorter?
- How can a patient in an isolated community get the same expert care as a
patient in a state-of-the-art, major-city hospital?
- How can a patients records, currently kept with a family doctor, be available
to a hospital half way around the world because of a medical emergency
abroad?
Our Applied Health Information Science degree program provides students with
the knowledge and skills in health informatics and information management
to enable them to make a difference in health care. As health informaticians,
graduates contribute to the quality of care that people receive by providing
essential information to both individuals receiving care and services and to
health-care professionals. They also help ensure the best use of health-care
resources by facilitating the tracking of health-care services and the evaluation
of better ways to provide service. They can also contribute to improving the
usefulness of new e-health software within health-care organizations and by
software vendors. Conestoga is one of only two post-secondary institutions
offering this degree in all of Canada. This field needs qualified graduatesthe
Canadian government indicates it could use 2,000 health informaticians right

for this type of career.
Final selection is made using a formula that combines academic strength with the scores
obtained on the profile.
Program Requirements
Applicants are required to submit the following in accordance with pre-admission information
which will be provided by the College: Standard First Aid and CPR (Level C).
Students are strongly advised to ensure they are free of acrophobia (fear of heights) and

APPRENTICESHIP
Becoming a Journeyperson: Skilled workers (journeypersons) are in
high demand in a broad range of occupations and make an important
contribution to Canadas economic growth. If you are interested in becoming
a journeyperson, you must first complete an apprenticeship. Women are
encouraged to investigate the significant benefits of a career in a skilled
occupation.
Apprenticeship: Apprenticeship is an agreement between an individual who
wants to learn a skill and an employer who needs a skilled worker. It is a
combination of in-school training and on-the-job experience. An apprenticeship
can last two to five years, depending on the program. As an apprentice,
about 90% of your time is spent learning practical skills on the job, while
supervised by a qualified journeyperson. The rest is spent learning theoretical
and technical aspects of your trade. Over time, the apprenticeship system of
training has proven to be one of the worlds most successful ways to learn.
On-the-Job Experience: Once you have decided which occupation best suits
your interests and talents, it is up to you to find an employer willing to employ
you as an apprentice.
In-School Training: Conestoga College provides the in-school training portion
for a variety of skilled trades. You will be released from work to attend trade
school either in a block or one-day-a-week format, depending on the trade and
delivery options.
Registration: Registration occurs after an employer is found. At that time
the employer or apprentice may call the local Apprenticeship and Client
Services Office to request registration and have a contract prepared. Once
you are a registered apprentice and have received your Offer of Classroom
Training Form, classroom training fees apply. Applicants are registered on a
first-come, first-serve basis. You are not required to pay classroom fees while
participating in OYAP. You may also view the apprenticeship web site at: www.

For more information, call the Apprenticeship Office at 519-653-5758 or 1-866877-0099. If you have questions pertaining to the in-school training portion, call
Conestoga College at 519-748-5220, ext. 2400.

3. Applying as a Mature Student
A mature student is one who is 19 years of age
or older as of the first day of classes without an
Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or
equivalent. If you possess an OSSD, regardless
of your age or number of years out of high
school, you will be considered on the basis of
your OSSD and mature student status does not
apply. If specific subject requirements are indicated, all applicants must possess those subject
requirements regardless of whether they are
applying as mature students; however, college,
university and upgrading equivalencies may be
used if applicants do not possess the appropriate subject requirements. Mature students
must demonstrate their potential to work at the
post-secondary level in one of two ways:
- by successfully completing equivalency
testing in English and/or mathematics; or
- by completing a program of academic
upgrading at a level appropriate to the
program of choice.
If you have been out of high school for several years, we recommend you contact our
academic upgrading office to assess, review,
and brush up on your academic skills to be well
prepared for success at the post-secondary
level. Participating in academic upgrading also
provides you with the opportunity to increase
your marks for competitive college programs.
The College offers several ways for applicants
to enhance their basic skills and improve their
chances for admission on either a full-time or
part-time basis. For program and course information, contact the College Information Centre
at 519-748-5220, ext. 3656.
