Introduction
The SkilledTradesBC Portal provides convenient access to apprenticeship and sponsorship information. Users can edit personal organization details, receive updates, manage requests, and provide feedback—all from any computer or mobile device.
Sponsor play a crucial role in apprenticeships. They provide on-the-job training, report work-based hours, ensure school attendance, and support apprentices’ progress. Sponsors can be employers, labor groups, or non-profits. When a sponsor also employs an apprentice, they become an employer sponsor, facilitating apprenticeship completion.
This guide shows how organizations can register as a new sponsor through the SkilledTradesBC Portal.
