The completion of this report would not have been possible without the cooperation of countless individuals who contributed their time to discuss challenges and opportunities within the apprenticeship community. In particular, the Steering Committee wishes to express its appreciation to all employers who provided their time and expertise in completing the survey work.

Special thanks are expressed to Human Resources and Social Development Canada for its financial support and contribution to the study. Recognition should be also given to the Board of Directors of the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum – Forum canadien sur l’apprentissage (CAF-FCA) for their efforts in spearheading this initiative.

Finally, thanks to the comprehensive research and analysis conducted by R.A. Malatest & Associates Ltd., and their associated consultants.
