Hey there, time traveller!

Employers:
SMALL, MEDIUM SIZE EMPLOYERS (SME) seeking first year apprentices in any of the 39 Red Seal Trades are eligible for up to $20,000 in incentives.
First year apprentices:
Receive support to get hands-on experience to start your career in trades. Just ask Kajon McKay who is a Powerline Technician.
McKay was hoping to join Manitoba Hydro but needed to improve his chances. He reached out to FPDI after hearing about them from a family friend and enrolled in a powerline technician course.
After taking electrical theory and then practical theory from a journeyman power line technician, he was shown the tools and related work that a lineman would experience daily.
“They helped me accomplish a quick occupation goal I never knew I wanted and have learned to love, said McKay. When asked whether he’d recommend FPDI, he said” Of course I would.” He added that he’d like to thank everyone who helped him along the way.
