Canadian Apprenticeship Forum (CAF-FCA) produces new guide for employers

Greetings from CAF-FCA:

CAF-FCA produced a new guide for employers in collaboration with the National Educational Association of Disabled Students (NEADS).  This guide is for employers interested in supporting apprentices at their worksites, including those who may have visible and invisible disabilities.

Guide: https://caf-fca.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Employer_Guide-EN-Accessible.pdf

In this guide you will learn about:

1. apprentice recruitment and retention promising practices

2. available supports and resources for employers, like yourself, and also for apprentices

3. relevant terms and legislative requirements.

The information in this guide is based upon insights from 25 representatives from national or provincial organizations that support persons with disabilities and those with lived experience. This project was funded by the Government of Ontario.

As a thank you for participating, we are offering a draw for Tim Horton’s gift cards for those who download the guide and complete this short questionnaire:
