Schools almost never turn away students Occasionally students are redirected
Areas of difficulty for student placements ? Dependant on local community and availability

Survey continued
Employers reluctant to take students ? Community specific
Major employer reasons for not participating ? Labour laws: age requirements Scheduling (prefer students full days) Seniority issues with unions Transportation issues Liability issues (safety on the job)
Suggestions Promotion and awareness within
community
Strategy for union issues Is being discussed at Advisory committee Local coordinators have intent to sit down
with union representatives
Suggestions
Enhance availability of pre apprenticeship courses at secondary schools through Tech Departments Unless students have opportunities to
experience an introduction to a trade area they are unlikely to become interested in the specific trade
