A Construction Craft Worker (CCW) is involved in site preparation, clean-up, material handling, excavation, backfill/compaction and dismantling on and around buildings, structures or premises. The CCW may also be involved in formsetting and stripping, concrete placing and finishing, pipelaying, and mason tendering.
About the Apprenticeship
Construction Craft Worker apprentices develop a broad range of skills used throughout the construction industry. Rather than specializing in a single sector during apprenticeship, apprentices receive comprehensive training across the trade, preparing them to work in a variety of residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, civil, and infrastructure construction environments.
The apprenticeship includes two blocks of in-school technical training:
Block 1 – 10 Weeks
Safety, tools and equipment, rigging and hoisting, communication and trade documentation, construction drawings, scaffold and access equipment, core trade activities, site work, excavation, backfill and compaction, hoarding and enclosure, temporary and permanent fencing, masonry work, traffic control, flagging, and signalling.
Block 2 – 8 Weeks
Construction drawings, formwork, concrete work, utilities and pipeline, and road work, including paving materials.
Apprentices complete 1,800 hours of on-the-job training before attending Block 1 and a further 1,800 hours before attending Block 2.
The Construction Craft Worker apprenticeship is delivered in accordance with provincial apprenticeship standards established by the Government of New Brunswick's Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour (PETL), ensuring apprentices receive consistent, industry-recognized training.
