The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, through the NL Workforce Innovation Centre, is launching stakeholder consultations to overhaul the provincial apprenticeship system based on recommendations from Prism Economics and Analysis. The consultation process will gather input from apprentices, employers, unions, Indigenous governments, and training providers via online surveys, focus groups, and interviews to improve access, outcomes, and industry responsiveness. Key areas of focus include strengthening industry participation, establishing advisory councils, enhancing workforce planning data, and creating evaluation performance indicators. The consultation report is scheduled to be completed later in 2026.
