2025 marks a major milestone for the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum (CAF-FCA) – 25 years of shaping the future of apprenticeship in Canada!
Since 2000, CAF-FCA has been the national voice for apprenticeship, working alongside industry leaders, unions, educators, policymakers, and trades professionals to advance training, support workforce development, and champion equity in the skilled trades.
This moment wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our incredible CAF-FCA members. Your leadership, insights, and commitment to apprenticeship excellence have shaped policies, research, and initiatives that continue to strengthen Canada’s skilled trades workforce.
Explore highlights of the first 25 years of our journey in advancing apprenticeship across Canada:
What’s Ahead?
Over the next year, we’ll be sharing stories of impact, key milestones, and opportunities to get involved. The celebration will culminate at the inaugural Supporting Equity in Trades (SET) Conference in May 2025, where we will continue building a more inclusive and resilient apprenticeship system.
