Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship (CCDA) - Strategic Plan 2022-2027
Our Vision
Canada has leading edge apprenticeship systems enabling a highly skilled, diverse, and mobile workforce.
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.
We enable meaningful careers in the skilled trades with national mobility contributing positively to the Canadian economy.
We Value
- Collaboration - Only by working together can we provide the best possible programs to help our jurisdictions and all Canadians.
- Quality - We believe in high standards for the work we do and for the Red Seal Program.
