Harmonization… Implementing Harmonized Trades Across Jurisdictions: Path to Harmonization MODERATOR Marjorie Davison Chief Executive Officer Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency NOVA SCOTIA Darlene Clark Manager, Program Standards Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency ONTARIO John Poirier Manager, Compliance and Enforcement Department Ontario College of Trades BRITISH COLUMBIA Colleen Rogan Manager, Program Standards Industry Training Authority SASKATCHEWAN Jeff Ritter Chief Executive Officer Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade CCDA HARMONIZATION INITIATIVE The Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship (CCDA) is responsible for the Red Seal Program, which develops common interprovincial standards and exams. In 2014, CCDA undertook the Harmonization Initiative with a goal to substantively align apprenticeship systems across Canada by making apprenticeship training requirements more consistent in the Red Seal trades. CCDA’s goal is to harmonize Red Seal trades, as follows: Use of the Red Seal trade name Consistent total trade hours (in-school and on-the-job) Consistent number of technical training levels More consistent sequencing of technical training content by level, using the most recent Red Seal Occupational Standard (RSOS) HARMONIZATION... What does it mean? The goal of Harmonization is to substantively align apprenticeship systems across Canada by making apprenticeship training requirements more consistent in Red Seal trades. Common occupational standards and exams are a hallmark of the Red Seal program and most jurisdictions have fully integrated these into their own apprenticeship systems. The training - based on the standard and measured by the exam – has, however, been delivered differently across the country. Industry has supported making apprenticeship training across Canada as consistent as possible for many years. HARMONIZATION… Benefits More consistent apprenticeship training facilitates the mobility of those apprentices who need to move to Harmonization work and continue their apprenticeship. brings together the Apprentices can take technical training and accumulate best of what is workplace hours in other jurisdictions as needed. happening at the Employers who work in more than one jurisdiction can easily move their apprentices without negative trade level, enabling consequences and can experience common system program renewal requirements. and supporting Training providers can share best practices and quality delivery. curriculum resources. HARMONIZATION... What is the process for harmonizing a trade? Achieving harmonization for each trade relies on consensus from industry across the country: Research and analysis to develop proposed recommendations for each trade on the four harmonization priorities. Consultations with industry and training stakeholders on the proposed recommendations. A facilitated discussion on sequencing of training topics using the Red Seal occupational Standard (RSOS). Review of recommendations among stakeholders and resolution of concerns through national webinars with stakeholders. Implementation of changes in apprenticeship systems.

Instrumentation and Control Technician harmonize at least 30 Red Seal trades by 2020; remaining 2. Partsperson trades to be harmonized over 3. Bricklayer time 4. Glazier 5. Roofer 6. Motorcycle Mechanic HARMONIZATION... How will we keep it going? More than halfway through our commitment to harmonize identified trades, we have turned considerable focus to making harmonization a way of doing business. A national initiative running parallel to harmonization is the evolution of the NOA into the new RSOS: o aligning harmonization and RSOS processes o adding elements of learning objectives/outcomes and industry-expected performance o creating new Red Seal tools reflecting harmonized training In 2017, the CCDA identified priorities for the trades beyond 2020, by building the harmonization of trades into the standards development work planning cycle.

Aligning sequencing of training, particularly when jurisdictions or training providers are philosophically opposed to propose training sequences. Ex: Carpenter webinar. Buy-in from industry stakeholders and training providers – some stakeholders need reassurance that the training provided after harmonization will produce apprentices and journeypersons at the same (or even higher) skill level as those attending current training. Path to Harmonization: Saskatchewan Apprenticeship Solutions Effective communication – ask questions, clarify terms, and confirm definitions. Harmonization, Promote understanding – determine why jurisdictions above all, requires offer a particular training model; remember the goal is substantive alignment, not perfect alignment. Some clear jurisdictions may choose to focus more heavily on a communication and particular topic if it’s deemed necessary in their active change jurisdiction, for example. management. Remind stakeholders that all necessary training components will continue to be offered. The primary change is the order that training is delivered in, not the training itself. Path to Harmonization: Saskatchewan Apprenticeship Strengths Change Management – Advance communication proved helpful. Industry involvement – High level of industry involvement; Trade Board members regularly participated in sequencing workshops. Budgeting – the SATCC budgeted carefully for sequencing changes. Transitioning – SATCC staff and training providers have worked together to ensure there are no gaps in apprentices’ technical training. ONTARIO John Poirier 1. Challenges
