Apprentice Bursary Award Program

We are pleased to announce our 2nd Annual Bursary Award Program.  The objective of the bursary awards is to recognize and provide encouragement to Apprentices.  The awards will translate into more awareness of the value of apprenticeship training and skilled trades, as well as an improved tooling and machining industry for Canada.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

The new program is open to all Apprentices that are employed by CTMA member companies.  Member companies may nominate up to two apprentices each year for the committee’s consideration.

WHAT WILL APPRENTICES RECEIVE?

Selected recipients will receive a bursary award of at least $1,000.00 as well as a selection of tools and other trade-related items (dependant on the level of sponsorship received).

SUPPORT FOR APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING & BURSARY AWARDS

You can tangibly express your support for apprenticeship training by making a financial donation to the George H. Shaffer Education Fund which was established in 1994 to support and encourage apprenticeship training.  George Shaffer was one of the association’s founding members and, as President of Hartford Technology Ltd., he had a passion for apprenticeship training.  Interest generated from the endowment fund is used to support the Bursary Awards which will assist and encourage the recipients to continue their apprenticeship training.
