Demand for Construction Workers
252,000 workers are required in Canada’s construction sector over the next decade
They anticipate attracting an estimated 152,000 first-time new entrants from Canada’s population
This leave a gap of 100,000 workers
In ONTARIO, the gap is 40,000 workers

”Ontario’s apprenticeship system is a key part of building the well-educated and highly skilled
workforce the Province needs to compete in the current and future economy.” Ontario Budget 2012

ResearchConstruction Apprentice Profile
• Average age of a starting apprentice is 27• 40% of apprentices have children• Half of apprentices have had more than three
jobs prior to registering• Half of registered apprentices were not aware
of their current program when they were in high school
…No longer a transition from school to work

ResearchMeasuring Completion Rates
Notional Completion Rate :
The number of apprentices that complete in a given year, as a share of the number of new registrants in a prior year, lagged by the prescribed duration of the respective program

ResearchPolicy Issues & Outcomes
Focus attention on completions
Utilize investment and know-how in union / employer training facilities
Implement apprenticeship requirements on all government procured construction projects to help create more opportunities
Infrastructure Ontario (IO) to implement apprenticeship requirements on government procured construction projects
![Page 21: Katherine Jacobs Director of Research & Operations Ontario Construction Secretariat](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649da35503460f94a8ff1b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ResearchKey Takeaway Messages
Increasing enrolment in apprenticeship viewed as means for addressing the need for skilled workers
Investment in apprenticeship enhances innovation, productivity and social development
However, completion rates are low
![Page 22: Katherine Jacobs Director of Research & Operations Ontario Construction Secretariat](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649da35503460f94a8ff1b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ResearchKey Takeaway Messages
Joint labour/employer training trusts have found the key to raising completions rates and building the skilled workforce
Opportunity for all levels of government to embrace and support apprenticeship through procurement practices
