Advocacy

Advocacy

Given current and anticipated shortages in the skilled trades, it is more important than ever to advocate with federal and provincial/territorial governments to enhance the profile and effectiveness of apprenticeship training and address common challenges. Canada’s economic prosperity relies on its ability to develop skilled workers in sectors such as construction, energy, manufacturing, motive power and service. Join the conversation and benefit from CAF-FCA’s work for all stakeholders: tradespeople, educators, employers, jurisdictions, labour organizations and under-represented groups in the skilled trades.
