Webinar

Aug 27, 2018

As skilled trades workplaces become increasingly reliant on mobile technologies and new equipment, systems and techniques requiring enhanced digital skills, what impact is this having on apprentice mentorship and training? At this live webinar the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum shares the findings of the latest Apprentices in Canada ePanel report where CAF-FCA surveyed pre-apprentices, apprentices and early-career journeypersons about the use of digital technologies.

Join to hear their perspectives on the use of smartphones on the job, their attitudes toward automation and training, and better understand how they approach new problems at work. The webinar is free to members of the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum.
