Lakeland College

About Lakeland College

Lakeland College in Vermilion offers a full-time pre-employment electrician program — a foundation that can earn first-period apprenticeship credit before you enter Alberta's registered apprenticeship.

Vermilion sits in east-central Alberta near the Saskatchewan border, serving an agricultural and energy region.

Admissions: This pre-employment program (fee-based) builds foundational skills and can earn first-period credit, but it doesn't replace the apprenticeship — electrician is a designated trade, so you still need a sponsoring employer, the technical periods and on-the-job hours, and the journeyperson exams.
