Celebrating Excellence in Apprenticeship
Across Canada, employers and individuals are making an extraordinary impact by strengthening apprenticeship, developing skilled talent, and creating opportunities for the next generation of trades professionals.
The Canadian Apprenticeship Forum (CAF-FCA) National Apprenticeship Awards recognize those who are leading the way, whether by building exceptional apprenticeship programs or championing diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility within the skilled trades.
Nominate a deserving employer, colleague, or industry leader—or submit your own nomination—and help us celebrate those who are shaping the future of apprenticeship in Canada. Award recipients receive national recognition and will be honoured at a CAF-FCA national event.
