Accessing and Completing Apprenticeship Training in Canada

Perceptions of Barriers: A consultation report

Canadian Apprenticeship Forum (CAF) promotes apprenticeship as an effective training and education system that contributes to the development of a skilled labour force.

While a substantial amount of research on barriers to industry training and apprenticeship has taken place in the past two decades, a comprehensive study has been carried out. To address this, the CAF contracted the Canadian Labour and Business Centre (CLBC) to examine these issues.

The findings identified within this report are presented to engage the apprenticeship community and stimulate discussion about accessibility and perceived barriers to apprenticeship training in Canada.

The findings do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the CAF, rather they reflect the perceptions of barriers as captured by the pan-Canadian research.
