If you like to work with your hands and repair mechanical equipment, you may be interested in becoming a mechanic.
Mechanics are skilled trades people who complete an apprenticeship training program which consists of on-the-job and in-school training.
In general, it takes 7,220 hours – approximately four years to complete an apprenticeship.
An apprenticeship requires 6,500 hours of on-the-job work experience and 720 hours of in-school training. This means that you can earn an income while training to become a mechanic.

You can use your Canada Learning Bond to help cover the costs of the apprenticeship. Don’t delay! Apply for the Canada Learning Bond today.
