Apprenticeship

 

Apr 15, 2018

The 2018 conference will highlight initiatives, programs and strategies that contribute to Canada’s world-class apprenticeship system. The event will showcase innovative approaches to training, workplace and mentoring initiatives, and the engagement of under-represented groups and youth.

Over three days, 500+ delegates will gather insights into innovative projects, initiatives and partnerships that stand to increase participation in apprenticeship training, particularly among under-represented groups. Among the highlights: presentation of the Darryl Cruickshank Red Seal Industry Award.

The Canadian Apprenticeship Forum – Forum canadien sur l’apprentissage (CAF-FCA) is a non-profit organization that connects Canada’s apprenticeship community. Participants work collaboratively to support vibrant and innovative apprenticeship systems and policies with a view to developing a highly-skilled, inclusive and mobile skilled trades workforce. Employers, unions, equity-seeking groups, educational institutions and the jurisdictions support CAF-FCA operations through membership.
