The UA Local 516 and the unionized HVAC/R contractors in BC
recognize the value of all persons involved in the HVAC/R industry
and the need for quality training. To that end in a recent meeting
of concerned employers it was decided to show their strong support
of traditional apprenticeship by putting something back into the
training of our future journeypersons.
The method chosen by these employers is to offer financial
support for all apprentices in BC attending JARTS. Contributions
from UA Local 516 and the unionized contractors will allow JARTS to
reduce tuition fees payable by apprentices by nearly 50%.
Effective September 2007 tuition fees for six week Level One and
Two apprenticeship classes at JARTS will be $420.00 and eight week Levels Three and Four
$560.00. GST exempt.
Tuition fees can be paid by Visa, MasterCard, Debit, Cash or
Certified Cheque. Please note that personal cheques will no longer
be accepted.
These new tuition fees apply to all apprentices
registering for technical training classes at JARTS, regardless
of whether you work for a non-union or a union company.
