Overview

Abstract (English)

This evaluation examines the relevance and performance of the Apprenticeship Incentive Grant and the Apprenticeship Completion Grant, in particular the achievement of outcomes and results. The Apprenticeship Incentive Grant, the Apprenticeship Completion Grant and the Apprenticeship Incentive Grant for Women are the 3 components of the Apprenticeship Grants program. In 2017 to 2018, over 66,000 grants were issued – totaling almost $89 million in disbursements. The Apprenticeship Grants program allows apprentices to receive up to $4,000 in lifetime grants to pay for tuition, travel, tools, or other expenses. They aim to increase access to skilled trades by reducing financial barriers and encouraging progression and completion of an apprenticeship program. The evaluation covers calendar years 2007 to 2016 and complies with the 2016 Treasury Board Policy on Results as well as with Federal Administration Act requirements.
