ABOUT US CAF-FCA is a national, not-for-profit organization working with stakeholders in all regions of Canada. We influence pan-canadian apprenticeship strategies through research, discussion and collaboration sharing insights across trades, across sectors and across the country to promote apprenticeship as an effective model for training and education. Our Board of Directors is comprised of representatives of business, labour, the jurisdictional apprenticeship authorities, education and equity-seeking groups.
