2021 Apprenticeship Program - Employer Questionnaire

Please respond by: July 16th, 2021

Landscape Ontario works with the MLTSD to register employers and apprentices in the Horticulture Technician 441-C Apprenticeship Program in Ontario. We are calling on our Ottawa employers to complete this survey for the purpose of increasing the number of employers and apprentices within the Horticulture Technician 441-C Apprenticeship Program in Ottawa.

Algonquin College conducts the in-class training for the Apprenticeship Program for the Ottawa region. In 2021, the in-class training for Level 1 was not offered due to the low demand for the in-class training portion of the program. Currently, we run the risk of Algonquin College not offering the apprenticeship in-class training again for 2022 if we do not increase awareness and engage our current and prospective employers/apprentices in the Ottawa area to register staff in the apprenticeship program.

We thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey and look forward to your feedback.
