Welcome to the ICI Pre-Apprentice Application Page!

Prior to applying we encourage all Applicants to understand the full scope of what it means to be an Electrician in the Construction Trade.  A career as a 309A Industrial, Commercial & Institutional (ICI) Construction & Maintenance Electrician can be very demanding but is also extremely rewarding! Working on different projects throughout the Greater Toronto Area, you will be able to see the fruits of your hard work all around the city. Prior to submitting an application, it is important to know what your career has in store for you; we suggest you consider the following before applying:

• A considerable amount of time is spent working at heights, either up ladders or on elevated work platforms*
