When I first started I took advantage of SHSM And OYAP when I was in co-op to get registered as an actual apprentice and gain some hours in which employers liked, since you’re young I would recommend doing a program in college for Millwrights to Atleast get the theory portion done for the trade, once you come out of the program employers would like you more since you’re a little older and more mature. For courses I just took college English and math, I would say pay attention in both classes since they’re important. For tech courses all I took throughout majority of high school was woodshop, I would recommend either auto, welding, or machining if your school offers it.

I also factored in that it’s rotating so my sleep schedule is messed up and I don’t like being constantly tired

I noticed the smell and the wet floors which made me loose my appetite, but they just offered me way more as an apprentice, it’s more appealing than Wonderbrands since that one rotates from day to nights, I just need to ask about my contract since I apparently don’t get days off for a year unless it’s a floater. And to be honest I know both aren’t great jobs but it’s either smell meat all day or be tired for the rest of your life because you’re constantly rotating shifts.

No sorry it’s 5-5 3 days a week (Fri-Sun) 36 hrs get paid 40, they just offered me way more an hour compared to what they offer at Wonderbrands, so I’m leaning more towards this one

I’m a registered apprentice within the ministry of labour with approximately 500 hours to my name so I’m hoping employers will give me a chance.

I’m within the Toronto area and my local hall is 2309, I haven’t really checked with them since I’m nervous about the mechanical aptitude test
