Saskatchewan Polytechnic Pre-Employment Program and Apprenticeship
To obtain a Journeyperson Certificate persons must find an employer to hire them full time, and is willing to indenture them as an apprentice in the trade.
Students with limited knowledge of a tradecan opt to take a Sask Polytech Pre-Employment program.  By doing so, they will:
  • obtain a base knowledge and skills of the trade they wish to enter, giving them confidence when applying for jobs
  • show a potential employer that they have made a commitment to the trade by taking the pre-employment course, and therefore would be a motivated employee.
Taking the pre-employment course better equips the student of obtaining full time employment, which will then enable them to enter the Apprenticeship process.  Upon entering apprenticeship, they may receive technical and trade credit hours for the Pre-Employment course they completed at Sask Polytech.
If the student has experience in the trade, or has a relative, friend or connection that can lead to full time employment in the trade, they can go directly into industry and forgo the pre-employment route.
