Scope:
Note: The scope for this NOI (originally published on July 5, 2023) was updated by the responsible SDO on October 11, 2023.
This Standard specifies requirements and provides guidelines for equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (EDIA) in apprenticeship programs.
This Standard is applicable to all aspects of an apprenticeship system including pre-apprenticeship, classroom learning, mentorship and on-the-job training delivered in an apprenticeable trade, and for which successful completion of the required stages of apprenticeship and testing is recognized by the apprenticeship authority within the jurisdiction.
Note: This covers programming delivered by unions, community colleges, and private trades colleges and includes related services such as: recruitment, admissions, academic and personal counselling, etc.
This Standard can be used in conjunction with an organization’s management systems, human resource programs, and/or occupational health and safety programs, or on its own in the absence of a formal program to support equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility.
