With more than 300 careers to choose from, there is a skilled trade for every aptitude and interest. Many trades provide earnings above the national average. By taking a pre-apprenticeship and learning a trade, apprentices can ‘earn as they learn’, decreasing the amount of debt they may incur during their post-secondary training.One of the best parts of being a tradesperson is that you get paid well for doing work you enjoy. It is no wonder tradespeople are so proud of their skills.
