The Government of Canada announced a call for proposals to invest in skilled trades apprenticeships to grow a larger, certified, diverse and inclusive trades workforce. The Government of Canada will be supporting the purchase of modern, up-to-date training equipment and materials that meet industry standards, and will help improve the quality of training for apprenticeships in Red Seal trades.
Eligible organizations include unions representing Red Seal trades workers, organizations managing their own training funds, and training providers that provide technical training to apprentices as part of a recognized apprenticeship program or a Red Seal trade. Eligible organizations interested in applying can submit their applications electronically on the Grants and Contributions Online Services (GCOS) portal.
