Trades - Apprenticeship Vermilion Apprenticeship Offices Provincial Building 4701 - 52 Street, Box 26 Vermilion, Alberta T9X 1J9 800 248 4823

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 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 AIT 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 (AIT).

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, AIT 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, AIT 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, AIT 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.

University Transfer - Bachelor of Arts (AU) Lloydminster A Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree is designed to provide students with a liberal arts education. Many career opportunities are available to graduates of an Arts degree – from psychologists to police officers to politicians. Students develop diverse skills in research, communication, writing, organization, critical thinking, and analysis that are applicable to many careers. A B.A. may also provide preparation for further study such as Law, Masters, or After-Degree programs.

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. A liberal arts education from Athabasca University (AU) aims to broaden your perspective on local and global affairs, encourage community and social involvement, and prepare you for lifelong learning and occupational diversity. The four-year Bachelor of Arts degree at Athabasca University is designed to strengthen your critical and creative thinking by offering a broad range of social, political, and cultural programs of study. The degree provides students with a broad, flexible education that allows them to develop, understand, and disseminate knowledge, to think critically, and to build on these abilities.

For more details about Athabasca University’s B.A.: Call toll free: 1 800 788 9041 Or visit their website at: www.athabascau.ca Admission Requirements Students with Alberta’s English 30-1 or Saskatchewan’s English A30/B30 may begin their studies in General Arts at Lakeland College. 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.

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.

Courses Students at Lakeland College would normally choose from the following courses: ENGL 112

PSYCO 104/PSYCO 105

6 credits Science

SOC 100

Additional electives

Senior-level Requirements: Biology, Chemistry, English, History, Nutrition, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and selected Business courses Students who have completed course work or credentials at other institutions in Alberta should consult the Alberta Transfer Guide website at www.transferalberta.ca for transferability of those courses directly to AU. Students who have completed course work or credentials at institutions outside of Alberta will need to apply to AU to have their courses assessed officially. This evaluation process will then determine the remaining requirements that could be completed at Lakeland College.

Admission Requirements Students with Alberta’s English 30-1 or Saskatchewan’s English A30/B30 may begin their studies at Lakeland College and complete Athabasca University’s three-year Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) degree while living in Lloydminster or their home community.

The degree requires six credits of science, so students either need the appropriate high school prerequisite or would need to take EAS (Earth and Atmospheric Sciences) to meet that core requirement.

Students planning to pursue an after-degree in Elementary Education will require the appropriate Grade 12 math in order to meet the prerequisite for MATH 160: Alberta’s Math 30-1 or Math 30-2 or Saskatchewan’s Pre-Calculus Math 30 or Foundations of Math 30.

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-Medicine (U of A) Lloydminster According to the Association of American Medical Colleges’ website, medical students learn both the science and the art of medicine; they study subjects such as biochemistry, anatomy, and genetics, while also acquiring problem solving, teamwork, and communication skills.

In order to pursue a career in Medicine, students must complete at least two pre-professional years of study (60 credits) – including specific required courses – in a science program. Applicants must also complete the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Visit www. aamc.org/students/applying/mcat for details. The MCAT test will be changing in 2015, so be sure to visit their website for the most current information. Consult the university website and calendar for other admission requirements and details.

The minimum requirement for admission to the U of A’s MD program is the successful completion of at least two full years (60 credits) of transferable post-secondary work of which 30 credits must be taken during one academic year (September to April). Students should be aware that the minimum cumulative GPA for applicants with two or three years of coursework is 3.7. Therefore, many students will complete a degree before applying for admission to medical school. At the U of A, the minimum cumulative GPA requirement for applicants with four or more years of post-secondary transferable course work is 3.3 for Alberta residents and 3.5 for non-Alberta residents on the University of Alberta 4.0 scale.

The U of A Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry welcomes applications from qualified individuals who are permanent residents of Canada (either as Canadian citizens or permanent residents) but regrets that they are unable to admit international students. Admission to the MD program is limited, and applications are selected on a competition basis. Eighty-five per cent of the places in the program are normally reserved for Alberta residents, and 15 per cent are usually available for non-Alberta residents.

Applicants should be aware that the total length of time required to obtain a medical degree and – following this – a license to practice is a minimum of two years of pre-medical study (normally four years pre-medical), followed by four years of medical study (at which time the MD degree is awarded), plus a minimum of two years of internship before licensure in Alberta.

If students are not admitted to Medicine after two years, they will need to apply to another science program in order to take an additional year of courses and, possibly, complete a science degree before admission to Medicine. Depending upon the degree chosen as a “back-up plan,” not all 60 credits of Lakeland College courses may fit in to that particular degree.

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 University Transfer 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. Section 14.2.3 of the U of A Calendar specifies that “transfer credit will be granted for each course transferable to the U of A if the grade achieved is at least a C- (or its equivalent) and the course is applicable to the specific program to which the student has applied.”

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.

The combination of CHEM 161 and 263 meets the Organic Chemistry requirement at the U of A.

University Transfer - Bachelor of Science: Pre-Nursing (U of S) Lloydminster The University of Saskatchewan’s new four-year College of Nursing undergraduate program was introduced in 2011 with a first year of pre-professional studies in arts and sciences followed by three years of nursing education. This unique program will appeal to those with a strong academic standing, an attitude of curiosity and inquiry, and a genuine interest in caring for diverse people of all ages. Graduates will earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and will play a vital role in health care in Saskatchewan and beyond.

Courses Students may complete the first year at Lakeland College and then apply to transfer to the U of S. The pre-professional year will be foundational to the nursing program and will include courses in the humanities, as well as the natural, social and health sciences.

Students will be given the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary scholarly learning experiences typical of a general first year of arts and sciences.

First-year students at Lakeland College may choose 30 credits from the following required courses:

For more details about the new program, contact the U of S College of Nursing directly: Phone: (306) 966 6221 E-mail: nursing.advising@usask.ca Or visit their website at: www.usask.ca/programs/ or www.usask.ca/nursing/students/4yearbsn/ Admission Requirements Admission requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree vary, depending upon the area of interest. Some science programs require only two, not three, Grade 12 science courses. However, students with Biology 30, Chemistry 30, and Physics 30 are best prepared to pursue a variety of options in the sciences. Students planning to start in UT and pursue the U of S Nursing degree specifically require the following prerequisite courses: Alberta High School Prerequisites: English 30-1 Math 30-1 or Math 30-2 Biology 30 Chemistry 30

BIOL 107

CHEM 101

ENGL 112 (See Note 1)

NS 110 or NS 111

NUTR 110

PSYCO 104/105

STAT 151 (See Note 2)

3 credits open electives (excluding HEED 110)

Students must achieve a minimum weighted average of 60% in the required courses, but the competitive admission GPA will likely be higher.

Note 1: ENGL 112 is a six-credit course, so it meets the three-credit English requirement at the U of S and fills a three-credit elective.

Note 2: The U of S requires only Math A30 and B30 (with Math C30 as recommended) for Saskatchewan students with the old mathematics curriculum. However, students beginning their studies at Lakeland College require Math C30 as a prerequisite for STAT 151. Under the new high school curriculum, Math 30-2 or Foundations of Math 30 is recommended for STAT 151.

Saskatchewan High School Prerequisites: English A30/B30 Pre-Calculus 30 or Foundations of Math 30 Biology 30 Chemistry 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.

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.
