The apprenticeship system in Canada

The news release states that the committee is tasked with collecting and synthesizing the views of workplace partners on pan-Canadian issues such as increasing the participation of business and labour in apprenticeship, and improving the interprovincial mobility of apprentices and skilled tradespeople. [...] The Canadian Labour Market and Productivity Centre (1990), the Economic Council of Canada (1992), the Canadian Labour Force Development Board (1997), the Centre for the Study of Living Standards (1999), the Government of Canada (2002) and the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum (2004) have all examined specific areas of the apprenticeship system. [...] The eighth section discusses the issues raised in the beginning of the report in depth, drawing from the evidence presented. [...] The ninth and final section concludes with a number of suggestions for improving the functioning of the apprenticeship system in Canada, based on the analysis presented in the previous sections. [...] Approaches to the Evaluation of the Apprenticeship System Policy-makers have expressed interest in the apprenticeship system in recent years, particularly as an institution to deal with challenges associated with the changing nature of the labour market.
