Who it is for
Indigenous youth who enjoy working with their hands, have the strength and stamina necessary for highly physical work, and who are equally comfortable working independently or as part of a team.
Additional Requirements
Before the program starts, applicants who meet the entrance requirements will be invited to complete two additional steps:
Step 1: Complete two knowledge checks that will help instructors understand which program topics (including Math and English) students have already learned. These are not graded, but will help the instructors better prepare for each unique group of students.
Step 2: Come to an interview with the program team, where applicants can learn more about the program and instructors can get to know you and your educational and career goals.

This program offers a paid work practicum in the construction trades and offers a competitive hourly salary.
Work practicum is a mandatory component of this program. Students must meet all program eligibility criteria to qualify for practicum. MITT does not guarantee practicum placements when students do not meet eligibility criteria (including having a valid co-op work permit) or when sufficient placements are not available. In such situations, MITT will explore alternative options for program completion with a student.
COVID-19 Response
Due to the challenges raised by COVID-19, MITT reserves the right to alter course delivery methods and/or program durations. Course deliveries may require increased percentages of online/distance learning components, alternatives to work practicums, and extended program durations to accommodate physical distancing and work practicum placement restrictions. MITT will be providing an exceptional level of enhanced student and program supports to ensure this modified program experience continues to meet all required learning outcomes for your program.
Continuous Program Improvement
MITT continuously reviews and improves programs to maintain relevance in the workplace and effective learning experiences for all students. Although the institution strives to have the website reflect the most current version of all programs, MITT reserves the right to change the program curriculum as necessary to meet industry and accreditation requirements. As a result, course information and learning outcomes may be adjusted prior to the scheduled course start date.
