“This is how it works. Human Resources and Skills Development - TopicsExpress



          

“This is how it works. Human Resources and Skills Development Canada [HRSDC] sets guidelines for apprenticeship and skills development for the National Occupational Analysis [NOA]. The provinces, however, are responsible for their own training and development, and there are a lot of variations in how those are delivered.” This has created a hodgepodge of [apprenticeship training requirements] from coast to coast, Mr. Cleven agrees. “Although apprenticeships are meant to meet a national standard, that’s not easy with 13 jurisdictions developing different plans for the same trade. Imagine how messed up it can become.” The whole process is de-motivating at best, leading to lower completion rates, and ultimately, fewer qualified candidates for industries desperate to build their skilled trade ranks. “The bottom line is, there’s a lot of bureaucracy, time and effort involved; and that stops everything from happening,” Mr. Slaney says. business.financialpost/2013/06/11/so-much-for-the-mobile-workforce-skilled-trades-face-obstacles-crossing-provincial-boundaries/?__lsa=a222-8bab
