 [Finding an employer sponsor] Finding an employer sponsor can be one of the greatest challenges along the road to certification, and we’d like to hear your stories.

 [Finding an employer sponsor] The Canadian Apprenticeship Forum-Forum canadien sur l’apprentissage (CAF-FCA) is conducting a research study to explore the challenges apprentices may face when finding an employer sponsor.

As part of our research, we have hired Ipsos Reid Public Affairs to conduct regional focus groups with apprentices in:


  • Halifax, NS
  • Montreal, QC (in French)
  • Toronto, ON
  • Moose Jaw, SK
  • Vancouver, BC
  • Northern Canada (online with participants from various regions)

Two focus groups will be held in each of these locations during the last week of February, 2009.

 [Finding an employer sponsor] Those who qualify and attend will receive a cash incentive for contributing to our research.

If you are interested in participating, please click or visit the following link in order to complete a short online questionnaire to see if you qualify to participate:

http://surveys.globalepanel.com/wix/p311188178.aspx

If you qualify, you may be contacted by phone regarding specific locations, dates and times, and to confirm your attendance.

The information gathered from the focus groups will be included in a research report, and will also be used to develop tips for future apprentices on our website.

 [Finding an employer sponsor] For more information about this research project, please contact Emily Arrowsmith: emily_arrowsmith@caf-fca.org

Any personal information provided will be used for recruiting purposes only, and will be kept strictly confidential.

The CAF-FCA is a not-for-profit, multi-partite organization bringing together the key constituents within the apprenticeship community through research, discussion and promotion.
