Provincial & Territorial Contacts

The apprenticeship program is generally administered by provincial and territorial departments responsible for education, labour and training (under the direction of the provincial and territorial Director of Apprenticeship) with authority delegated from the legislation in each province and territory.

The Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship (CCDA) is responsible for the management of the Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program among other things. The CCDA is an organization regrouping each provincial/territorial director of apprenticeship and two Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) representatives. The CCDA works with industry to develop a skilled labour force, and facilitate labour mobility throughout Canada. This is achieved by: developing, implementing and recognizing Red Seal trades and credentials; promoting high standards in occupational training; fostering harmonization in training among jurisdictions; and increasing public awareness of apprenticeship training and certification.

If you are a tradesperson, you are encouraged to contact your local apprenticeship office for information on training and certification.
