Compulsory trade
 | The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (July 2016) |
In Canada, a compulsory trade is a skilled trade that requires government certification of those engaged in the trade. In general, a formal training program such as an apprenticeship is required, and a practitioner must be certified as a journeyperson prior to licensure. Conversely, a voluntary trade is a trade where a certification or license is not required to practise.[1]
In Ontario, for example, there are currently 23 skilled trades that are designated "compulsory".[2]
