Statscan Wants Your Help to Promote the National Apprenticeship Survey

Apprenticeship Survey

Know anyone who was an apprentice between 2011 and 2013? Statistics Canada wants these people to participate in a National Apprenticeship Survey (NAS), which will be conducted by Statistics Canada from September 2015 to February 2016. The government agency is asking stakeholders (employers, labour, training providers and others) to encourage anyone who was an apprentice between 2011 and 2013 to participate in the survey.

The NAS will collect information on apprentices’ motivations, experiences, and the barriers they faced during their apprenticeship program. This information will help governments, training providers, and employers better understand the challenges apprentices face, and help improve supports for apprentices.

The previous (2007) NAS provided crucial information that informed the development of initiatives such as the Canada Apprentice Loan, the Flexibility and Innovation in Technical Training initiative and the Apprenticeship Completion Grant.

Participating is easy and secure. A telephone interview can be conducted at a convenient time: day, evening or weekend. The information you provide will be kept confidential, and used only for statistical and research purposes.

If you know someone who was an apprentice between 2011 and 2013, please share this information with them.
