C.H.O.I.C.E. Apprenticeship Program

• This program is a collaboration between Carpenters Union Local 27, YMCA, Toronto Community Housing, the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities, and Housing Services, Inc. The goal of the C.H.O.I.C.E. is to provide pre-apprenticeship general carpentry training to people from low-income backgrounds. Once students complete this program, they may enter into a formal apprenticeship contract with Local 27. Students, however, may be required to work on a probationary period before being allowed into the union. Pre-apprenticeship hours may be used for the required hours for the full carpentry apprenticeship program.
