Andrew Cunday
Andrew Cunday Came to VCCS in the summer of 2009 seeking an employer to aid him in continuing his apprenticeship as an Automotive Service Technician. He had gained experience with his previous employer through the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) which allows high school students to gain apprenticeship hours while simultaneously obtaining co-op credits towards their high school diploma.
Through the OYAP program, Andrew gained valuable workplace experience and on-the-job training in an automotive repair shop. Andrew had a desire to continue his learning as he had an obvious knack for mechanical work. Through the assistance of Job Connect and Job Development Placement Services he was able to access a subsidized training placement with Dalemar Sales and Service in Oakwood.
Dalemar owner Bob Bassett saw potential in Andrew as a small engine mechanic apprentice due to his experience working with cars and trucks. Andrew is now registered as an apprentice small engine mechanic and continues to use his transferable skills as he becomes a valuable member of the Dalemar team, gaining important knowledge and skills for a long term career in the trade.
