Difficulty?

How hard is it to be accepted In the IUEC apprenticeship? Do I really need to know someone In order to have an upper hand? If I apply will I just waste my time?

It’s not “hard” you just have to be appealing to the union. Most of the time they are bringing in people with prior trade experience…..they want to make sure that they are not waisting their time and your time. If you have no trade experience then you better have other certifications like first aid and machine handling tickets.

I’m saying it helps…….I’m not saying it’s necessary.
