Canadian Apprenticeship Forum has announced the release of its
"Apprenticeship Works: Build on it" database of practical tools that will help employers recruit and retain apprentices.
"This one-stop-shop will show you what many of Canada’s most successful employers already know — that apprenticeship training is the foundation to building a workforce that will help your business grow," the organization said in a media release. "We have shown time and time again that hiring apprentices results in a reduced risk of skill shortages, better relationships with customers, fewer mistakes, improved health and safety performance and greater overall productivity."
Many useful tools already exist to help employers to recruit and retain apprentices. The database includes:
• information on the value of apprenticeship training;
• recruiting tips and interview guides;
• handbooks for implementing your own mentoring program;
• ready-to-use tools for identifying potential skill gaps; and
• worksheets that track apprentices’ progress and development
It’s as easy as 1-2-3.
