- A level of apprenticeship training;
- Cost-share - Upgrader training for tradespeople with full trade time;
- Job coaching for currently registered apprentices;
- Non-trade specific preparation courses for apprentices prior to apprenticeship training; and,
- Projects resulting in a social benefit to the community.
The intake is closed for this year.

"When I found out that the schooling for all apprenticeship through powerline is 2 weeks every year and on top you're making money and you come out of it debt free. It really put it into perspective for me how quickly you can move through the program and move up financially, so I decided to take the leap." -Jenna
