Hey Everybody,
(26m) Recently completed a Pre apprenticeship basic carpentry program taught by CCAT in Toronto,Canada.
I did get a paid placement with a finishing company making pre apprentice wage and was learning a lot and enjoying the work etc. but the work on the jobsite is ending as well I injured myself outside of work (Sent the company doctors note and recommendation to stay off for two weeks wrist injury)
My questions is if the company chooses not to sponsor me can I get another opportunity to work with another company as a helper or pre apprentice?
Would I get layed off for lack of work ?and if not able to find anything have to go on EI?
Is my chance to join the union gone if the company doesn’t sponsor me or should I call the business agent who helped me find the placement so I can get more work/opportunity to get sponsored?
Any insight or information is greatly appreciated also I forgot to include I am fairly “Green” beside the 1 1/2 months I had on the placement. The company said I can finish my remaining two weeks but hasn’t said anything about sponsoring me.
Any tips, information, prior experience or suggested course of action would be a tremendous help🙏
