The only major barrier to UBC membership for those with little or no experience is demand from employers for first-year apprentices.

Employers always need some people at the entry level, so even if you are less-experienced, the best thing to do is contact our offices and speak to the recruitment department who can tell you about current demand.

Please be aware that even in the busiest times, employers do not hire as many inexperienced people as they do apprentices and journeymen. Also, there are often restrictions on entry-level people, such as being required to live in the area in which the work is occuring.
