What's the difference between generalist and specialist services?
General support is useful for all apprentices, no matter what job they’re training for.
Specialist support is more focused. It’s designed to help people in certain industries or with specific identities, like First Nations peoples or women in trades.
If your employer signs you up through a specialist service, you’ll get tailored support that’s designed to help you succeed.
Real help, right when you need it
You’ll be matched with an advisor who understands your background and the challenges you might face.
We’ll work with you to create a support plan that suits your needs and helps you succeed in your training.
Get access to industry events, webinars, and workshops where you can build skills, grow your network and learn from people who’ve been where you’re going.
