CK apprenticeship seminar draws a big crowd

A seminar aimed at helping start an apprenticeship in Chatham-Kent was a big hit.

The municipality said CK Jobs hosted the seminar on November 20 and it was well attended with approximately 100 people from Chatham-Kent and Windsor-Essex showing up.

The seminar involved showing prospective apprentices how to find and apply for apprenticeships, as well as discussing the different pathways that an apprenticeship can open for future careers.

The seminar was held in partnership with St. Clair College and was hosted at the Retro Suites in downtown Chatham.

“Through the CK Jobs initiative, the Municipality of Chatham-Kent is proud to support individuals who are ready to take the next step in their careers through apprenticeship programs,” said Program Manager for Employment and Social Service Matt Keech. “This successful partnership event with St. Clair College highlights the incredible opportunities available to those who are interested in a career in the trades.”

CK Jobs noted there are currently over 140 apprenticeship opportunities available for jobs such as plumbing, developmental service work, electrician, hair stylist, and more.
