Apprentices not only bring considerable financial benefits to your company, but also ensure a diverse and sustainable workforce.
Apprentices are a smart business move. According to the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum, employers receive an average positive return of 35-43 cents for every dollar they invest in apprenticeship training, depending on the trade. Not only do apprentices learn your business first, they also bring the latest technologies and techniques back from the classroom—further strengthening your team.
Doing your part to support apprentices ensures we carry on a tradition, where sponsors guide eager minds towards building a better future for everyone. You will oversee, challenge and shape these professionals, benefiting your workplace and the future of your trade in the process.
