The Canadian Apprenticeship Forum – Forum canadien sur l’apprentissage (CAF-FCA) is excited to announce the Apprenticeship Works: Build on it database of practical tools that will help employers recruit and retain apprentices.

This one-stop-shop will show you what many of Canada’s most successful employers already know – that apprenticeship training is the foundation to building a workforce that will help your business grow. Many useful tools already exist to help employers, like yourself, to recruit and retain apprentices. The Apprenticeship Works: Build on it database includes:

• Information on the value of apprenticeship training
• Recruiting tips and interview guides
• Handbooks for implementing your own mentoring program
• Ready to use tools for identifying potential skill gaps, and
• Worksheets that track apprentices’ progress and development

With approximately 50 top resources, guides, courses, workshops, toolkits and so much more, this is a powerful tool that will help you recruit and retain apprentices. It’s never been so easy!

It Works! It’s Worth it
and the Time to get Started is NOW!

Discover apprenticeship — discover potential

We’ve also got a new resource for prospective apprentices, educators and employment/ guidance counselors!

Discover Apprenticeship: Building Your Future is an interactive database with links to tools and information on the basics of apprenticeship, skills upgrading, financial matters and more. All the information you need to find out how apprenticeship can lead to a career offering respect, opportunity and good pay is located in this easy-to-use online tool that links you to:

• The what and how of apprenticeship
• Provincial and territorial apprenticeship websites
• High school to apprenticeship transition programs
• Learning tools and resources for upgrading skills, and
• The money side of apprenticeship training.

We have gathered more than 70 online tools, courses and resources in one spot to make it easier for you to discover how apprenticeship can work for you and those you influence. In addition, we still have toolkits (with the tool bookmarks and one-pagers) available if anyone would like some more. Please contact Agata Nobrega to make a request.
