If you're looking to just get people who are interested in the trade better prepared for the apprenticeship program, I might see a draw in that for a nominal fee... Kinda lead them to the facet of the trade they'd be best at.(Lineman, wireman, controls, PLC's, etc)
If you're looking to substitute the full apprenticeship program and throw a reference letter out for John Doe being a good prospect for being an apprentice electrician, I'm not sure how that would fly. Especially if BC has any kind of municipal certification requiring the accredited class and CE credits.
