Employer Benefits:

With increasing demands in the skilled trades and technology area, employers are finding it increasingly difficult to access skilled personnel.  NBTAP presents a solution to workforce development needs. 

By hiring students, at a competitive rate, employers can:

• partner with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (EECD) and Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labor (PETL), organizations to provide students with pre-apprenticeship opportunities;
• have access to cost-effective, eager, and enthusiastic workers;
• participate in this unique opportunity to help build their future workforce;
• help present a solution to workforce development needs;
• help in advancing the knowledge and skills of potential future employees; and,
• provide a certified journeyperson mentor to help create a bridge between employers and students.

There is a need to invest in our youth and this program provides employers with a method of creating expertise and developing ready-to-work skilled apprentices upon high school graduation.
