The Canadian Apprenticeship Forum conference takes place June 5 – 7, 2016 in Vancouver B.C.

This popular, biennial event will highlight promising practices and innovative solutions in apprenticeship training.  Apprenticeship is more than a way of teaching hands-on skills – it inspires partnership among employers, labour groups, educators, equity groups and governments to contribute to a shared objective.  Focusing on collaborative projects and initiatives, the 2016 conference revolves around the work multiple stakeholder groups undertake together to improve apprenticeship outcomes.  More than 500 delegates are expected to participate over three days.
