The research was conducted over the 2003-2004 academic year and begins with a literature review of employment opportunities offered on an international, national, provincial, and county scale. Primary research, collected through telephone surveys with local employers, sets out to determine: what employers know about apprentice programs in the trades, which businesses currently offer such opportunities, what barriers exist to such programming, and what employers are looking for in apprenticeship training. Results are presented and analyzed and recommendations proposed to better facilitate such training programs.]]>
