r/skilledtrades

Hi everyone, I’m in Ontario, Canada, and I recently graduated with honors from Sheridan College’s Pre-Apprentice Plumbing Technician program.

I’m trying to break into the skilled trades and would really appreciate advice on the best path forward. My main interest is plumbing as a Level 1 apprentice or helper, but I’m also open to welding, HVAC, sprinkler fitting, or any hands-on trade where I can gain job-site experience and build a long-term career.

I already have WHMIS, Working at Heights, First Aid/CPR, a G2 license, and access to a vehicle. I’m open to driving long distances or relocating anywhere in Canada for the right opportunity.

For anyone already in the trades, what would you recommend as the best next step to land that first opportunity?

Hello! I’m a 28F in the Greater Toronto Area wanting to switch to the skilled trades. I’m very interested in carpentry/woodworking. I did some work building sets when I was in college and really enjoyed it. My brother also mentioned CNC/Precision Machining and thinks I might enjoy it. I don’t really know anything about trades in Ontario or where to get started. Any advice would be appreciated.

Help pls
