“The average age of journeyperson in Canada is over 48 years old. That means in the next seven to 10 years, there’s going to be almost a 100-per-cent turnover in those skilled workers.

attend school for 6-8 weeks at a time
complete their trade within 2 – 5 years (average is 4 years)
receive a Certificate of Qualification in a designated trade giving them journeyperson status
have most of their tuition costs covered by the Manitoba Government
