Summary: | Alberta's apprenticeship system offers training in 50 designated trades and 4 designated occupations and includes 40,398 registered apprentices and 11,1984 employers. The main components of Alberta's apprenticeship and training system are as follows: (1) a network of local and provincial apprenticeship committees in the designated occupations; (2) the Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training Board, which is responsible for establishing standards and requirements for training and certification in approved programs; (3) Alberta Learning, which works with industry, employers, employer organizations, and technical training providers to facilitate development and maintenance of training and certification standards, provide registration and counseling services to apprentices and employers, coordinate technical training, and certify apprentices. In 2002-2003, the board continued its efforts to meet the following goals: (1) respond to learning needs through new course outlines, alternative delivery methods, and individual learning modules; (2) promote on-the-job training, including through a train the trainer program; (3) integrate trades and business skills; (4) work toward common training standards; and (5) enhance and expand awards recognizing excellence among apprentices, journeymen, students, instructors, and employees.
