SLAAMB

Have you been working in your community as a carpenter, electrician or plumber for a few years? You may qualify to register as an Apprentice with MTCU or the Union. You will need your prior learning experience verified by your past employers. After you register as an apprentice, we can help you find a placement in the construction of the Meno-ya-win Hospital or the Hostel. The starting salary is about 45 % of journeyman's wages. After the probation period of 60 days, your pay will be based on your assessment and level of skill.

If you have worked for your community or any other employer either as a carpenter, electrician, or a plumber and you have worked more than 5 - 10 years (depending on trade), you may qualify for our C of Q Training & Tutoring Program. Commitment to stay and study in Sioux Lookout for 10 weeks (one week in Dryden) is required as candidates will receive safety certificate training (ie: Fall Arrest, First Aid, Hoisting & Rigging, etc.) and tutoring to challenge the provincial exam for the certificate of qualification in their chosen trade.

SLAAMB is brokering labour requirements for the Unions involved in the Meno-ya-win Hospital and Hostel construction. If you are interested in working as a labourer, please contact us so we can add you to our labour pool.
