Welcome

The Canadian Apprenticeship Forum-Forum canadien sur l’apprentissage (CAF-FCA) is the only inclusive national body that brings together all players in apprenticeship training.

CAF-FCA works under the guidance of its Board of Directors, who represent every aspect of the apprenticeship community. Our work has brought to light a number of key issues that affect apprenticeship training - such as perceived barriers to training; the business case for apprenticeship; and the importance of promoting apprenticeship training as a valued and respected choice for post-secondary education.

We are involved in research and activities across Canada, and are well known for our biennial conferences; our research on the business case for apprenticeship training; and our national campaign - Skilled Trades, A Career You Can Build On.

In the immediate future, CAF-FCA will continue to address challenges and opportunities through two strategic approaches: Employer Engagement and National Outreach.

CAF-FCA’s work recognizes that apprenticeship training is integral to our economy, and touches every aspect of our lives: from the homes we live in, to the cars we drive, to the food we eat. This form of post-secondary education combines on-the-job training and in-school learning - earning while you learn - and opens doors to a wide range of rewarding and well-paying careers.
