"I’ve always wanted to be a skilled trade person but I tried so hard without success to find an employer who is willing to sponsor someone like me with no experience to be an apprentice. Fortunately, I learned about the CPAC plumbing pre-apprenticeship program and joined it. The program has everything I need to start my apprenticeship – knowledgeable instructors, program staff, health and safety training, plumbing tools, more importantly the connections to employers through placement.  Thanks to the program I’ve finally become a plumbing apprentice and on the track to be a real plumber in the future."

"Through the CPAC program I really got the help to be exposed to the electrical work and skills in a short amount of time. I learned a lot about how to be professional and deal with workplace situations this program. The program also give me a chance to be able to get experience in electrical so I can now apply for an apprenticeship program. I'm truly honored and happy to have been here because it's a life changing experience."

"Being new to the country and not knowing where to start, CPAC made it much easier for me personally. This program was very well organized from the beginning to the end and prepared for us an amazing career path. Thank you for having such a great program where a work placement is included and we had the chance to show our skills. I would like also to mention the social part of this program which gave me a chance to meet, work, learn and have a lots of fun from this diverse group of people."
