Members of the public and others interested in giving input into a review of the provincial apprenticeship system are encouraged to take part in a series of town halls that began this morning at The Rooms in St. John’s and run through to October 11.

The town halls will seek feedback on key aspects of the apprenticeship system related to effectiveness, sustainability, governance, and accessibility to apprentices. For a full schedule of dates, locations and times, please see backgrounder below. Registration is not required to attend upcoming town halls.

All responses and documents received will be reviewed by the consultant and considered in developing a report aimed at further enhancing the apprenticeship system. The provincial apprenticeship system is seeing evidence of continuing improvement with Newfoundland and Labrador tradespeople achieving the third-highest Red Seal pass rate in Canada for 2021 and 2022,

Those unable to attend in person are encouraged to submit their feedback through a submission template. Submissions and supplemental information must be submitted by October 20, 2023 directly to Prism Economics and Analysis at submissions@prismeconomics.com with subject line: NL Apprenticeship Review.
