The whole concept of an apprenticeship is from a by-gone era. Now everyone gets the minimum amount of formal education and they're off. Part of the immediate satisfaction generation.
This is definitely not true in Ontario. For a large number of trades the candidate must do both an on the job apprenticeship program and also in school classroom training training on the technical aspect of the trade. Without the hands on apprenticeship time successfully completed the candidate does not get the accreditation.
