Harmonization Initiatives
Atlantic and National Cooperation
Atlantic Harmonization
Elements:
– Common trade name
– Common number of required hours for apprentices and for trade qualifiers
– Common curriculum standards and sequencing
– Common bilingual digital log book
– Same completion requirements for all harmonized trades across Atlantic provinces
– Creation of Atlantic Trade Advisory Committees
Atlantic Harmonization
Action Plan
Achieve as many harmonized elements as possible
4 trades in two years, 10 trades in four years
60%+ of active apprentices are in top 10 trades
Cook, Instrumentation and Control Technician, Bricklayer in year one
Less than 1000 apprentices in total
Construction Electrician in year 2
Largest trade in the region, nearly 4000 apprentices
Additional six to be selected based on demand, mobility, registration, shortages, alignment with CCDA project, etc.
Atlantic Harmonization
Next Steps
• Complete contract negotiations with Employment and Social Development Canada – √
• Staff the Harmonization Secretariat
• Assess IT needs
• Engage Industry and trainers
• Select second set of 6 trades
• Work the plan!
CCDA Harmonization
Action Plan
• Target 10 Red Seal trades within the next two years
• Phase 1 will target three proposed Red Seal trades - research began in early Fall 2013
• Phase 2 will target seven additional Red Seal trades - beginning in late Fall 2013
Phase 1
Carpenter Mobile Crane Operator Mobile Crane Operator (Hydraulic)
Phase 2
Welder Tower Crane Operator Metal Fabricator (Fitter) Heavy Duty Equipment Technician Ironworker (Generalist) Ironworker(Structural/
Ornamental) Ironworker (Reinforcing)
CCDA Harmonization
Elements
• Proposed elements in 7 trades
– Name and trade definitions
– Usage of current NOA
– Hours (technical and on-the-job)
– Technical training sequencing
* Note: Crane Operator, representing 3 trades will have different harmonization elements
Impact on SOA
• Minister’s Panel/Reference Group indicated support for Atlantic and Interprovincial initiatives in its report
• On-going harmonization initiatives will impact the selection and implementation of Trade Advisory Committees
