Canadian Apprenticeship Forum
Training, Talent, Profit

The Canadian Apprenticeship Forum – Forum canadien sur l’apprentissage (CAF-FCA) conducted a landmark study that examined the Return on Apprenticeship Training Investment. Previous studies in this area focused only on cost and shied away from the question of benefits. The CAF-FCA’s study confirms that benefits generated by apprentices outweigh the training costs.

That’s what apprenticeship is all about. Hiring apprentices makes good business sense. Did you know that apprenticeship training improves companies’ bottom line. For every $1 spent on apprenticeship training, an employer receives a benefit of $1.38. Learn more about the business case for apprenticeship.

The “Employer ToolKit” provides tips and tools for employers to successfully implement an apprenticeship program. This document contains information such as:

• Why apprenticeship makes good business sense;
• Benefits of Training Apprentices;
• Tips to a Successful Apprenticeship; and
• Getting Started.
