Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship (CCDA) - Strategic Plan 2022-2027

Our Mission

The Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship are the stewards of apprenticeship and the Red Seal Program, keeping it relevant for the future through a partnership among the Provincial/Territorial Apprenticeship Authorities and the Federal Government.

The Red Seal endorsement is a valuable recognition in the skilled trades across Canada. It promotes excellence and builds public confidence through an endorsement that stands for quality and competence in the skilled trades.
