The Youth Apprenticeship Council, a national group of apprentice leaders from across Canada, in partnership with the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum, a national, non-profit organization, are reaching out to pre-apprentices, apprentices and tradespeople to better understand the trades training journey. As the Council gets ready to speak to government and industry leaders this Fall about apprenticeship, this is your opportunity to share your perspectives. We are asking tradespeople who were apprentices to reflect back upon their experiences as apprentices when answering the questions.
Participation in this survey is voluntary. Results are anonymous. Responses will not impact your training or employment.
The questions will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
The results will be summarized into a report for the Youth Apprenticeship Council, the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum and apprenticeship stakeholders, including industry, labour, education and provincial/territorial apprenticeship representatives.
