Early Interest Collection
March 9 – March 22
The Early Interest Collection period is the first step for individuals who would like to learn more about Empower Skilled Trades Foundation programs before formal applications open.
This stage allows potential learners to:
Express their interest
Receive detailed program information
Begin preparing for the upcoming intake process
During This Period, Empower Will:
Collect basic information from individuals interested in future training programs
Share program details, eligibility requirements, and key timelines
Provide guidance on the most suitable training stream:
Apprenticeship Readiness
Fast Track
Red Seal / Provincial Preparation
Help learners understand what documents or experience may be required for the next stage
Build an early list of motivated individuals who wish to be notified when full applications open
Important Note
Submitting an Early Interest Form is not a formal application.
It simply ensures you are informed, prepared, and among the first to receive updates when intake officially opens.
This early stage helps Empower plan program capacity, answer questions, and support learners as they prepare for full screening and eligibility verification.
