CAF-FCA is a non-profit organization that connects Canada’s apprenticeship community. Participants work collaboratively to support vibrant and innovative apprenticeship systems and policies with a view to developing a highly skilled, inclusive and mobile skilled trades workforce. Employers, unions, equity-seeking groups, educational institutions and the jurisdictions support CAF-FCA operations through membership.
CAF-FCA is the only organization that brings together apprenticeship stakeholders from across trades, across sectors and across Canada to share information and promising practices, identify challenges and propose joint solutions. As a national voice for the apprenticeship community, CAF-FCA influences apprenticeship strategies through research, discussion and collaboration. Its research and events provide stakeholders with accurate, unbiased insights into apprenticeship challenges and barriers and illustrates the substantial benefits of hiring and training apprentices.
CAF-FCA has a commitment to diversity and inclusion
CAF-FCA intends to support reconciliation by striving to eliminate educational and employment gaps in the Canadian apprenticeship systems between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. This will ensure that Indigenous peoples have equitable access to jobs, training, and education opportunities within the skilled trades in Canada.
