Proposal
Consultation Paper: Experienced Apprenticeship Pathway
Regulation Number(s):
N/A
Instrument Type:
Proposal
Bill or Act:
Building Opportunities in the Skilled Trades Act, 2021
Summary of Proposal:
The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) is seeking public input on a policy approach which would seek to increase access to skilled trades training and apprenticeship for individuals who would historically face barriers to accessing apprenticeship.
MLITSD is planning to improve access to apprenticeship training for individuals who do not meet academic entry requirements under BOSTA, by introducing the Experienced Apprenticeship Pathway (EAP). Under the EAP, applicants would need to meet certain criteria to be considered, which would enable them to register as an apprentice without meeting the academic entry requirement for the trade.
This consultation paper is focused on explaining the proposed exemption criteria and how individuals and organizations can provide MLITSD with their feedback and input on this policy.
