Trades - Apprenticeship Vermilion Apprenticeship Offices Provincial Building 4701 - 52 Street, Box 26 Vermilion, Alberta T9X 1J9 780 853 8150

40% to 90% of the journeyman’s wage, depending on the trade and on how much training the apprentice has completed, and increases as the apprentice progresses from one level of training to the next.

An employer must pay a RAP apprentice at least the basic minimum wage.

New Park Place 5201 - 44 Street Bonnyville, Alberta T9N 2J4 780 826 6142 Out-of-province students contact a provincial Apprenticeship Office.

Apprenticeship is an education and training system that teaches trade knowledge and skills through on-the-job training and formal instruction. About 80% of the instruction is actual on-the-job training, provided by an employer, where the apprentice is supervised by a journeyman. The remaining 20% of the training involves formal instruction, provided by various post-secondary institutions.

Entrance and Application • You must find suitable employment with an employer who is a journeyman or employs a journeyman in the trade of your choice.

• Once employed, apprenticeship application forms must be signed by you and your employer. These forms are available from the A.I.T. regional offices.

• If you think you have related work experience and/or training which could be credited toward your apprenticeship, discuss it with your employer and request credit on the application form.

• You must meet educational qualifications required for the trade in which you apply or you will be required to write an approved entrance exam.

• Once your application for apprenticeship is approved and your school transcripts or entrance exam marks are recorded, final approval is given and contracts are drawn up.

Contracts A contract is signed by both the apprentice and the employer. Once signed, the contract is registered with A.I.T. and an identification card, course outline booklet, and an apprentice record book are issued. At this point, apprenticeship training begins.

What is RAP? The Registered Apprenticeship Program is a modified apprenticeship program that permits a high school student to become an apprentice.

A RAP apprentice accumulates hours of on-the-job training as credit towards his/her apprenticeship program and credit toward a high school diploma.

How long is an apprenticeship training program?

Apprenticeship programs vary with each trade. The longest programs run for four periods of training (about four years). A period of training for each trade usually consists of two components – a specific number of hours of on-the-job training and a set amount of formal instruction. The formal instruction ranges from three to 12 weeks per period.

To progress from one period of training to the next, an apprentice must: • Successfully complete the formal instruction • Have the required hours of on-the-job training and a satisfactory report from the supervisor • Pass the apprenticeship examination for that period of training (70%) • Have the record book stamped by the nearest Career Development Centre, Alberta Learning – Apprenticeship and Industry Training (A.I.T.).

The employer will: • Update the apprentice’s record book, recording the on-the-job training provided, hours worked, type of work performed and evaluate the apprentice.

• Forward the record book to the nearest Career Development Centre, A.I.T. for stamping.

After completing these steps, an apprentice’s wages should increase to the next level for that trade. The level may differ with each employer, but are based on the journeyman wage rate at that company.

The apprentice is responsible for: • Completing required on-the-job training as assigned by the employer • At the end of each period of apprenticeship, reviewing with his/her supervisor:

- The hours worked

- The on-the-job training completed

- Ensuring that his/her record is updated at the end of each period and forwarded to the nearest Career Development Centre, A.I.T. for completion • Making arrangements to meet personal financial needs while attending formal instruction • Acquiring the textbooks and supplies required for formal instruction • Successfully completing the requirements of the formal instruction • Successfully completing the required examinations • Advising the department:

- If he/she becomes unemployed or employed by another person so that the contract of apprenticeship can be transferred

- If there is a change in address or employment • Carrying his/her apprenticeship identification card at all times while at work and producing it on request • Registration for classes at the institution of his/her choice

How much does an apprentice earn?

Apprentices earn a percentage of the journeyman wage in their trade at the company with which they are employed. The wage varies from

Trades - Apprenticeship The employer is responsible for: • Providing on-the-job training to the apprentice under the supervision of a journeyman • Paying the apprentice’s wages • Providing time away from work so that the apprentice can complete the required formal instruction • Maintaining the apprentice’s record book An Alberta Journeyman Certificate is granted to an apprentice who: • Completes the required hours of on-the-job training and receives a satisfactory report from the supervisor • Successfully completes the formal instruction • Passes all required examinations • Has forwarded his/her record book to the Career Development Centre, A.I.T. for completion When an apprentice receives an Alberta Journeyman Certificate, he can use the term “certified” with the name of the trade. Journeyman wages should now be paid.

Where can the journeyman work?

The Alberta Journeyman Certificate is valid in Alberta and may be recognized in other provinces. If the journeyman holds a certificate in one of the Interprovincial Standards (Red Seal) trades and is interested in working in another province, he/she can write an Interprovincial Standards Program (Red Seal) exam. Journeymen who carry an Interprovincial Standards Red Seal on their provincial certificate do not have to write any further examinations to qualify for certification in any other province.

Our supportive environment begins with your first contact with our Enrolment Specialist who can answer your questions, arrange for a campus visit, and get you started on the application process. Once accepted, all students meet one-on-one with the Academic Advisor for course selection and changes.

With an average size of 25 students, our classes provide greater interaction with instructors and individual student support.

Qualified and approachable faculty instruct our courses; teaching remains our focus. At Lakeland College, our instructors utilize their educational accomplishments and real-world experiences to create a positive learning environment for students. For example, science students are able to “live the learning” in labs and field trips, and education students work with school children in local classrooms.

Our smaller campus setting also makes it easy for students to get involved in extra-curricular activities such as recreation, student government, and social events. Our wide variety of Student Services provides resources for financial, personal, academic, and health concerns.

Admission Requirements Students with a solid average and a broad range of academiclevel Grade 12 courses are best prepared to meet the prerequisite requirements for a variety of programs and institutions.

Regular applicants to UT normally present an Alberta or Saskatchewan high school diploma with five 30-level, academic subjects completed with a combined average of 60% or higher (with no subject lower than 50%). However, the requirements for different degrees and institutions vary.

The minimum requirement for admission to the University Transfer (UT) program is Alberta’s English 30-1 or Saskatchewan’s English A30/B30 or equivalent. (English entrance exam testing is available).

Other high school prerequisites depend upon the courses, degree, and university to which students intend to transfer. (See the prerequisites listed for the individual routes on the following program pages). Students pursuing degrees that require the following courses should be aware of these course-specific prerequisites:

Students who are missing high school prerequisites may take a combination of UT and upgrading courses through eCampusAlberta (www.eCampusAlberta. ca). Note that UT students taking an upgrading course may enroll in a maximum of three University Transfer courses in that semester.

Applicants from other provinces and those with courses not listed here should refer to the Provincial High School Subject Level Equivalencies chart in the Application and Admission section of the Lakeland College Calendar.

Students with Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses should consult the Alberta Transfer Guide at www.transferalberta.ca or the university. Credit in AP and IB courses will be considered by the degree-granting institution, not the University Transfer department; therefore, it is important to check with the receiving institution.

International Applicants At minimum, international students need to meet the ENGL 30-1 (or equivalent) entrance requirement and provide proof of English language proficiency. Those who plan to pursue a degree in the sciences or related field also need the appropriate high school prerequisites for those routes; normally, these will be verified by an IQAS (International Qualifications Assessment Service) evaluation.The time to complete an evaluation can take up to 12 weeks, so students need to plan ahead. International students also need to contact the receiving institution directly for their specific requirements; some university departments may have restrictions on international applicants.

University Transfer Transferring Course Work Lakeland College’s University Transfer courses normally are modeled on corresponding courses at the University of Alberta (U of A). Official transfer agreements “match” courses at one institution to courses at another institution and are recorded in the provincial transfer guides. The transfer college (Lakeland College) is considered the “sending institution” and is responsible for negotiating agreements with the universities to which students commonly transfer, otherwise known as “receiving institutions”. Ultimately, the “receiving institutions” determine whether or not they will accept the transfer courses from the “sending institution.” When a formal agreement is made, it is generally recorded through the Registrar’s Offices at both institutions and–in Alberta–recorded in their official guide.

The Alberta Transfer Guide (available at www.transferalberta.ca) provides a listing of Lakeland College courses that are transferable within the province.

A publicly accessible, formal transfer system for the province of Saskatchewan is no longer active. The University of Saskatchewan (U of S) and University of Regina (U of R) maintain publicly accessible databases of transfer credit on their websites at: http://explore.usask.ca/admissions/transfer/ and www.uregina.ca/student/registrar/transfer-credit.

Canada does not have a nation-wide transfer system, but many students have transferred successfully to universities in other provinces and the USA. Students who enter UT intending to pursue a degree outside of Alberta or Saskatchewan are encouraged to make contact with the receiving institution early in the process. The universities may request copies of course outlines, sample assignments, and exams, so it can be a time-consuming process.

The Academic Advisor will aid in the process as possible. However, the final decision on transferability is at the discretion of the receiving institution and will not be confirmed until the student applies to the receiving institution and submits final, official transcripts from the sending institution.

Generally, course transfers run smoothly. However, there are legitimate reasons that courses may not transfer, including the following: • Receiving institutions may require a minimum grade to transfer. Passing a course with 50% does not guarantee that the course will transfer. Students should check with the institutions and faculties to which they intend to transfer regarding minimum grade policies.

• Even if a course transfers to a particular institution, it may not fit the course requirements of a specific program.

• Students who change their intended programs or institutions may “lose” credits or may not meet program requirements if they change their intended programs of study during the academic year.

• Most degrees allow a maximum number of junior-level (introductory) courses.

• Some students have previous coursework from other institutions and/or take additional course work in order to improve their marks. Students who exceed the maximum number of transferable courses (residency requirement) will “lose” courses.

• Quotas may exist. Certain universities and programs only admit a limited number of out-of-province or international students.

• Courses may be “too old” because they have a “shelf life”, a time limit on the granting of transfer credit.

If students encounter problems with transferring credits, they are encouraged to bring all documentation and contact names from the receiving institution to the Lakeland College Registrar’s Office or Academic Advisor for review.

Roles and Responsibilities Academic Advisors at Lakeland College provide information and resources that help students make informed decisions about their transfer options and course selection. These resources include the Lakeland College Calendar, information sessions, the provincial transfer guides, as well as the Academic Calendars and contact information for the receiving institutions.

However, students are responsible for ensuring their UT course registration is complete and appropriate for their desired university and program.

Admission to Lakeland College and completion of UT courses does not guarantee admission to degree programs at other institutions. Students must also meet the entrance requirements of the university and program. This may include specific high school prerequisites for direct-entry programs, as well as minimum and/or competitive GPAs. Students must also follow the admission procedures of the receiving institution, including submission of transcripts which may include high school, post-secondary, and Advanced Placement marks; adherence to deadlines; and payment of fees. There may be quotas on the number of students admitted to the degree program at the receiving institution. Some universities specify a minimum grade for transfer credit. Students who change programs or universities should be aware that there may not be room in the new program for all previously completed courses. When applying to a post-secondary institution, students need to carefully read and follow all information supplied by the university. All students are strongly advised to refer to the Academic Calendar of the receiving institution and should contact appropriate university departments regarding specific requirements. Normally, each university program has an Academic Advisor who specializes in the requirements for that particular degree.

Course Load A normal course load is five courses per semester which equals 15 credits per semester or 30 credits per year. Each course is valued at three credits, except ENGL 112 which is six credits. Students may attend either part time or full time but should be aware that some institutions and programs require a minimum number of credits to transfer.

Popular Transfer Routes The programs of study on the following pages are a sample of the most common transfer routes available to UT students. Because the Lloydminster Campus is located between Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and Edmonton, Alberta, many students will transfer to the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) or University of Alberta (U of A); therefore, in many cases, the popular routes focus on those two universities. However, transfer agreements are also in place for other post-secondary institutions in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and many transfer options exist for other routes.

The department recognizes that many students are interested in starting at Lakeland College and pursuing degrees in specialized areas such as Engineering, Kinesiology, or Nursing, but,because of the specific nature of coursework in those types of programs–a full year (30 credits) of transferable credit may not be possible. Students are able to take a first year of general sciences and then apply to Engineering; however, admission is competitive and students will not receive transfer credit for a full year of study. The total amount of time to finish the degree would be five years (not four). The requirements for a Kinesiology (or Phys Ed) degree vary greatly between programs and institutions. In general, UT offers some of the core requirements of a Kinesiology degree but does not offer many Physical Education courses, so due to the sequencing of courses students may require five years (not four) to complete the degree if they begin their studies here. Students are able to spend a pre-professional year of study at Lakeland College and then apply to transfer to the U of S’s new Nursing program. However, students planning to apply to other Nursing degrees would not receive a full year of transferable coursework and would need five years (not four) to complete their degree. Students interested in these degrees should discuss their options with the university.

However, admission requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree vary, depending upon the area of interest and the institution. Additional high school courses may be required. For example, an Arts degree normally requires six credits of science, so students either need the appropriate high school prerequisite or may be required to take EAS (Earth and Atmospheric Sciences). For example, students planning to major in Psychology are required to take a university-level math course. Those students would be best prepared with one of the following courses: Pure Math 30, Math 30-1 or Math 30-2 from Alberta; Saskatchewan students require Math A30/B30/C30 or Pre-Calculus 30 or Foundations of Math 30.

Prospective students are encouraged to make early contact with the College, participate in enrolment events such as Open House or Student-for-a-Day, and attend information sessions to learn more about the UT program and its options. Visit the College website at www.lakelandcollege.ca for events and details.

Courses A variety of majors are available; consult the AU calendar or website for a complete listing. The number of courses available through Lakeland College depends upon the major, but most students could complete 60+ credits. The remaining courses (minimum 30 credits) would be completed through online learning directly through Athabasca University.

The core program requirements that may be completed at Lakeland College include: Classics/History/Political Science

ENGL 112 plus senior-level English courses

6 credits Science

PSYCO 104/105 plus senior-level psychology courses

SOC 100 plus senior-level sociology courses

Additional electives

Note: Completion of University Transfer courses does not guarantee admission to degree programs at universities. A student must also meet all the admission requirements of the degree-granting institution. This may mean having the appropriate high school courses and average. Admission after completing UT courses is competitive. There may be limitations (quotas) on the number of students admitted to the degree program at the receiving institution.

Some receiving institutions specify a minimum grade for transfer credit. Students who change programs or receiving institutions should be aware that there may not be room in the new program for all previously completed courses.

University Transfer - Bachelor of General Studies - Arts and Sciences (AU) Lloydminster Athabasca University offers online courses and flexible start times. A degree from AU can be a great option for those who are working and studying part time or for those who are not in a position to relocate to a larger centre to complete a degree. The Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) degree is a popular, three-year program at Athabasca University (AU). It provides a framework of individualized study with an Arts and Science designation that offers students the freedom to choose courses to meet career or educational goals. Students enrolled in UT are able to take three years of course work at the Lloydminster Campus and apply to transfer their credits to AU. Unlike most other degrees, the BGS does not have a residency requirement which means that students are not required to take courses through AU, (but they have the option to do so). The BGS degree requires completion of specific areas of study with a maximum of 45 credits at the junior level and a minimum of 45 credits at the senior level.

Students may choose to take distance learning courses directly through AU to count toward their degrees. Visit the AU website at www.athabascau.ca or call 1 800 788 9041 for more information on applying to the program and/or course options.

Students planning to use the BGS as their first degree towards an after-degree in Elementary Education need to research the admission requirements for the university and Education program they plan to pursue. Certain after-degree programs have specific requirements such as a minimum number of credits in designated subject areas. Lakeland College may not offer all of these courses, so students may have to build in coursework from other institutions.

Some students may include some of the following junior-level courses in their program of study, depending upon the degree requirements of the university:

Prospective students are encouraged to make early contact with the College, participate in enrolment events such as Open House or Student-for-a-Day, and attend information sessions to learn more about the UT program and its options.

University Transfer - Bachelor of Science: Pre-Pharmacy (U of A) Lloydminster Qualifications for registration as a licensed pharmacist for most provinces in Canada include a B.Sc. in Pharmacy from an accredited program, certification with the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada, and completion of structured practical training. Visit the Canadian Pharmacists’ Association for additional details: www. pharmacists.ca. Pharmacy is currently one of the most competitive programs available. Due to the competitive nature of the program, students are encouraged to apply for an alternative program as well, such as a Bachelor of Science.

Courses For students attending Lakeland College and wanting to apply to the U of A Pharmacy program after one year, the appropriate courses are listed below:

Students may not be admitted directly to Pharmacy at the University of Alberta (U of A). They must spend at least one year in a pre-professional program before applying. The minimum requirement for admission to the Pharmacy Program is the satisfactory completion of 30 credits of transferable coursework, including 6 credits in each of General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, English, and 3 credits in each of Biology (cell biology), Biochemistry, Mathematics (Calculus), and Statistics. The suggested competitive GPA is 3.5 or higher.

Be aware, though, that this is very difficult academic year. Therefore, the university is now recommending that students spread the pre-professional requirements out over two years and include four options/electives that can be counted towards the degree. Options may be any university-level course not used for the pre-professional subjects; however, only one 100-level course may be used from each subject area. For example, students could not count both PSYCO 104 and 105, but they could count SOC 100 and SOC 224, 225, 271, or 282. Learn more by consulting the “Recommended Academic Path Fact Sheet” at: http://pharm.ualberta.ca/programs/ undergraduate-bsc-in-pharmacy/prospective-student.

Admission Requirements Admission requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree vary, depending upon the area of interest, university admission requirements, and courses required in the degree. Some science programs require Biology 30, Chemistry 30, and Physics 30, so students with all three Grade 12 science courses are best prepared to pursue a variety of options in the sciences. For this particular degree, students starting at Lakeland College require the following high school courses:

Because admisstion to Pharmacy is very competitive, students are encouraged to pursue a first degree in which they are interested if they are not admitted to Pharmacy. Students may complete 60 credits of science courses and electives over two years at Lakeland College which means that they are taking extra coursework in order to maintain their full-time status, and not all courses will count towards Pharmacy. Depending upon the degree chosen as a “back-up plan”, not all 60 credits of Lakeland College courses may fit into that particular degree.

Alberta High School Prerequisites: English 30-1 Math 30-1 Math 30-2 also recommended for STAT 151 Biology 30 Chemistry 30

Pharmacy is currently on of the most competitive programs available. Due to the competitive nature of the program, students are encouraged to apply for an alternative program as well, such as a Bachelor of Science.

Admission requirements for the U of S Pharmacy program are currently under review, and changes may be implemented in 2017.

The proposal includes requiring 60 credits of specific coursework for “pre-pharmacy”, so students beginning their studies in Fall 2015 who do not gain admission to Pharmacy in Fall 2016 may be impacted.

According to the website, there will be no changes in admission requirements for 2016 applicants, but students should be checking the website for updates. Currently, applicants wishing to enter the four-year Pharmacy program at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) are required to complete one year (30 credits) of pre-pharmacy studies. Admission is based upon the post-secondary acacemic record, critical skills essay, and personal profile. Quotas are in effect.

See the department webpage for the definition of a “Saskatchewan resident”.

In the past, it was possible to complete two years of pre-professional requirements and then apply to Pharmacy at both the U of A and U of S. However, for student starting in Fall 2015 with the intention of applying to Pharmacy for Fall 2017, Lakeland College does not offer all the proposed pre-Pharmacy requrements for the U of S, so students would need to transfer to Arts and Sciences for Year Two in order to meet the requirements in the proposed changes. We will continue to monitor these changes.

University Transfer - Bachelor of Social Work (U of C) Lloydminster According to the Canadian Association of Social Workers, social work is a profession concerned with helping individuals, families, groups and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being.

It aims to help people develop their skills and their ability to use their own resources and those of the community to resolve problems.

Social work is concerned with individual and personal problems but also with broader social issues such as poverty, unemployment and domestic violence. Social workers provide services as members of a team or on a one-to-one basis. The duties performed by social workers depend upon the settings in which they work. Social workers employed by child welfare agencies (public and private) investigate cases of family violence, child abuse and neglect and take protective action as required; they may recruit foster parents, supervise the placement of children in protective care, or work on adoption cases.

Many school boards hire social workers to help students adjust to the school environment and to help students, parents and teachers to deal with problems such as aggressive behaviour, truancy and family problems. In general and psychiatric hospitals, social workers provide a link between the treatment team, the family, and community resources. In health and community services centres, social workers may provide counseling to individuals, families, and seniors. In the correctional field, social workers may be part of a team concerned with the social rehabilitation of young or adult offenders. They may work as classification officers, probation officers, or parole officers.

Social workers in private practice offer their services on a feefor-service basis to individuals, families and organizations; their services include counseling, psychotherapy, mediation, sex therapy, policy and program development, organizational development, and employee assistance programs. Government departments and social planning councils may employ social workers in policy analysis, policy development and planning. Researchers are found in universities and governments. Others are teaching in universities and community colleges. To learn more, visit www.casw-acts.ca.

All prospective Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) students in Alberta will apply to the University of Calgary but have the option of various locations and delivery methods:

• BSW Calgary

• BSW Online

• Edmonton-based BSW

• BSW Learning Circles

• Lethbridge-based BSW • Medicine Hat-based BSW For further information about the Social Work program, visit their website at http://fsw.ucalgary.ca.
