Current Activities

As the CAF-FCA continues to explore and expand its role in supporting and bringing together Canada’s apprenticeship community, our current work plan has been designed to address two key strategic areas : Employer Engagement and National Outreach. Current and future work in these areas will allow us to meet the needs of regional, provincial and national partners, keep abreast of international research and trends, and monitor the rapidly changing national and international labour market environment.
