  • Metis, First Nations, Inuit, or non-status Indigenous identity, residing in the Grande Prairie area
  • A genuine interest in starting a career in the skilled trades
  • A reliable, safety-first attitude and a strong willingness to learn
  • Ability to perform physical work, including lifting, standing, and working in varied conditions
  • Willingness to meet the entry requirements for a registered Alberta apprenticeship
  • Legally eligible to work in Canada

Preferred Qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalent

  • Valid safety certifications (for example, H2S Alive, Standard First Aid, CSTS, or Ground Disturbance)

  • Exposure to the varying weather and site conditions typical of Western Canada's trades sector
  • A strong focus on safety, teamwork, and skill development

What We Offer

  • Direct entry into a registered apprenticeship pathway in your chosen trade
  • One-on-one mentorship from experienced journeypersons
  • Earn while you learn, with on-the-job training and skill development
  • Dedicated support from GrizzlyTrek throughout your career journey
