Thank you.
To do this, CAMO-PI recommends improving the support given to young apprentices. This support could increase the number of young apprentices who complete the programs.
The last point is access of young apprentices to jobs once they complete their training. We are seeing a sort of distrust or discomfort of some employers with the difference which, in turn, makes it difficult for young people to find a job. The situation is difficult for individuals who have completed training and who are not finding work. Therefore, we recommend that there be a major campaign to convince employers that immigrant apprenticeship is an alternative to education and that diversity is an asset.
To conclude, there is poor coordination between the trades that comply with the provincial standards and the trades eligible for the Red Seal program. For example, landscaping, where the title of the profession in Quebec is worker, whereas under the Red Seal, at the federal level, this standard is for workers and technicians. So it is difficult for a worker in Quebec to find the corresponding trade at the Red Seal level. As a result, there is a sort of a lack of consistency that means that the desired interprovincial mobility is difficult.
Thank you.
