Encourage Apprenticeship eblast

The Horticultural Technician Apprenticeship Program is a great way to retain and upskill your top talent during the off season. Apprentices attend the in-class portion of the training at either Algonquin, Fanshawe, Humber or Mohawk College for 12 weeks, starting in January through to the end of March. They will come back in the spring ready to return to work with renewed excitement and new skills.

Benefits:

• Apprentices should be eligible to collect EI while in-school.
• Apprentices are eligible for financial incentives including training grants at the end of each in-class training semester.
• Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship journey and exam, the apprentice will have a nationally recognized Red Seal Certification.
• Employers may be eligible for financial incentives at the end of each in-class training semester through the Achievement Incentive Grant.

“The better trained the workforce is, the better the perception of the industry is.
The overall quality, and the profitability climbs as well. When we bring on employees that are knowledgeable, confident and well-spoken, it says to our clients that we’re worth the money, we’re a valuable company to our clients.”

Winter is fast approaching, and the colleges have already started sending out seat offers. There is still time to confirm your team member’s seat for the 2023 semester, but you need to act now so you don’t miss out!

Join us October 11 at 1 p.m. for a virtual information session.
