Description

In 2018-19, CAF-FCA requires a contractor to survey 1,000 employers to determine the employer participation rate in apprenticeship, the numbers of apprentices hired, anticipated requirements and hiring preferences. Survey findings will be summarized in a final report.

The contractor may use online or telephone surveys to gather the employer responses. The project deliverables will include:

Sampling Plan: The contractor will develop a sampling plan with provincial and territorial targets. The goal is to understand the employer skilled trades universe in Canada and develop a plan for determining the current employer participation rate in apprenticeship. The employers included should hire tradespeople and their work should be related to the skilled trades. The respondents should represent a cross-section of industries, size of businesses and regions. There should be a mix of employers who hire and do not hire apprentices.
Survey Instrument: The consultant should review the survey instrument already created (see Appendix A for reference) and make recommendations for improvements. Additional questions may be added in consultation with the CAF-FCA Project Manager.
Survey Implementation: The consultant will be responsible for gathering responses from employers. Any online survey mechanism must collect data in a way that secures participant privacy and adheres to Canadian privacy legislation. The consultant will be responsible for identifying employers to participate.
Report: The consultant will analyze survey results and write a report.
