WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government recently celebrated the work and commitment of newly certified journeypersons during the 33rd annual Apprenticeship Highest Achievement Awards ceremony.
The awards celebrated individual accomplishments from 36 recently certified journeypersons who were the highest-achieving graduates in their respective trades and presented two additional awards to individuals achieving the highest score through the trades qualification stream.
The Manitoba government has committed $400,000 to apprenticeship training equipment grants to ensure technical training providers and apprentices have access to modern equipment, a release reads.
The money also provides direct support to apprentices during technical training including approximately 90 per cent of their tuition fees and eligible expenses related to travel, accommodations and child care.
“Manitobans can take pride in the quality of new journeypersons who play a critical role in driving progress, providing services we count on and supporting economic growth,” said Tanya Palson, chair of the Apprenticeship and Certification Board, in a statement. “The Apprenticeship and Certification Board looks forward to continuing to strengthen our system so that Manitoba maintains our high standard of excellence in the skilled trades.”
