You can change or update your sponsor with the ministry using this tool if you have:

  • previously been approved by the ministry to participate in an apprenticeship program in this trade, and
  • are now working with a new/different sponsor (usually your employer) who has agreed to provide you with apprenticeship training

Note: If you have never applied for apprenticeship training, go to the online Apprenticeship application.

If you were a program participant in the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) or the Pre-Apprenticeship program, you may be asked to provide proof of academic entry requirements.

If you do not have a new sponsor, or want to learn more about apprenticeship training, or want to get help finding a sponsor, visit ontario.ca/apprenticeship, or contact your local Ontario apprenticeship office.
