5 Message from the Chair On behalf of my colleagues, I am pleased to present the Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship s (CCDA) 2014 Annual Review. The change in this year s format from past CCDA Annual Reports is a reflection of the shift in focus at the CCDA table to reflect broader changes and transitions. The old saying that the wheels of change move slowly is no longer valid in the current apprenticeship training and certification context. The 2014 report by the numbers is performance focused and based on the core products of the Red Seal Program. For detailed information on the CCDA s initiatives, you are encouraged to visit the Red Seal Program s website at To ensure that the Red Seal remains a world class program that meets and exceeds stakeholder expectations, the CCDA has become more nimble while adopting a focus and finish approach to address key priorities. The introduction of the Harmonization Project and the efforts made on strengthening its relationship with the Forum of Labour Market Ministers (FLMM), all while delivering its core mandate related to the Red Seal Program, resulted in a very intense year for the CCDA. The CCDA has shifted gears to address emerging priorities that are of significant importance to a variety of stakeholders. The direction has turned to more and better engagement with stakeholders requiring an expansion on the CCDA s communications strategy. Harmonization has emerged as the number one priority for the CCDA with tight deadlines and high expectations, and will remain a high priority in the coming years for both the CCDA and the FLMM. I trust that the information contained in the 2014 CCDA Annual Review will be of interest to you and your stakeholders. In closing, I wish to recognize the many contributions of industry and government stakeholders, and the ongoing support of the provinces, territories and Employment and Social Development Canada toward the CCDA and the Red Seal Program. Jeff Ritter Chair, Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship Annual Review

6 Red Seal Statistics Each year the Red Seal Secretariat collects Red Seal trade statistics from each of the provinces and territories. These statistics focus on the number of Red Seal endorsements issued, Red Seal examinations written, examination pass rates and the top Red Seal trades in the given reporting year. Listed below are the 2014 statistical highlights for the Red Seal Program and Red Seal trades.

The CCDA strives to be responsive to industry needs and ensure that its standards and examinations reflect today s workplace requirements. As such, development workshops and industry reviews are held for many of the Red Seal trades every year. National Occupational Analyses, Interprovincial Program Guides and Red Seal examinations that were developed, reviewed and published during 2014 are listed on the following page. Additionally, in 2014, the CCDA approved the designation of three new Red Seal trades: Heavy Equipment Operator (Dozer), Heavy Equipment Operator (Excavator) and Heavy Equipment Operator (Tractor-Loader-Backhoe). These were designated as Red Seal to reflect ongoing needs of industry. The CCDA is working in collaboration with industry to develop National Occupational Analyses, Interprovincial Program Guides and Red Seal examinations for these new trades. Annual Review
