 Learn by doing, and earn at the same time.

      The College offers the in-school portion for a variety of apprenticeship programs sponsored by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.  Program offerings include, Carpentry Apprentice, Millwright (Construction Industrial) Apprentice, Heavy Duty Equipment Mechanic Apprentice, and General Machinist Apprentice.

      Apprenticeship is a hands-on training program for people who want to work in a skilled trade and who enjoy learning by doing
. Apprentices are workers, so they earn as they learn.  About 90% of apprenticeship training is provided in the workplace by employers.  The remainder involves classroom instruction on theory.

      Depending on the skilled trade you choose, the length of training will vary between two and five years.  During that time, you will earn a wage based on a percentage of a journeypersons wages.

Cooperative Education

      Cooperative education integrates a student's academic study with on-the-job work experience. It allows students to obtain professional experience in their specific field of study. This is done by alternating periods of on-campus study with work experience in business, industry, and government. Co-op helps bridge the gap between the classroom and work.

      Co-op work terms are generally four months in duration. The majority are in Ontario, but they could be anywhere in Canada where a suitable job is available.

      The key lies in matching an employer who can offer a productive, and vocationally relevant work experience with a capable and skilled student. No student is sent out for a work term until he/she has the ability to be a productive employee.

      The work terms form an essential component of the student's total academic program. A mandatory requirement for graduation, the work terms are evaluated by both the College and the employer in order to promote maximum learning on the part of the student.

Dual Credit Program Offerings


      The Dual Credit program is a School/College/Work Initiative that is offered by Cambrian College in partnership with the Rainbow District School Board and the Sudbury Catholic District School Board. The Dual Credit program is intended to encourage secondary school students to complete their secondary school education and to consider continuing on to postsecondary education; the program provides opportunities to explore career prospects; and it ensures a successful transition to College and apprenticeship programs.

Goals of the Dual Credit Program

  • To encourage students to complete their secondary school education and to consider postsecondary education as their next step.
  • To introduce students to a variety of career options within various sectors.
  • To help students make appropriate career choices and choose educational pathways before they enter a postsecondary institution.
  • To expose students to an adult learning model and new learning environments.
  • To ease the transition from secondary school to College.
  • To provide students with opportunities to learn skills that can be used throughout their life.
