Apprenticeship in the auto service sector


Driving your future!

"When I go to work, every day there's something new to do or learn."
- Milton, apprentice auto service technician

Ontario is a leader in the automotive industry, and in 1997 manufactured more light trucks than any other jurisdiction in North America. The sector is undergoing exciting change as consumers demand vehicles that not only provide improved performance and value, but are also more environment friendly.

The industry is keeping pace with change. The expansion of computer technology has broadened the range of interests and abilities essential for success in automotive and motive power services. Today's industry specialists use computer technology to support sales and inventory control as well as to strengthen their ability to maintain and repair vehicles and engines, and to serve customers.

The automotive and motive power industry offers a wide range of careers servicing the latest cars and motorcycles; truck fleets; heavy equipment that serves the construction, forestry, mining, and oil and gas industries; as well as marine engines and farm equipment. Skilled workers can choose to work for a wide range of employers, or even set up their own businesses.
