"June 2017." Includes bibliographical references. “This report represents Phase 1 of the evaluation of the Canada Apprentice Loan (CAL). The CAL program, which began disbursing loans to apprentices in January 2015, was designed to assist apprentices with the costs associated with their in-class technical training and related forgone wages so that more apprentices could complete their training and more Canadians consider a career in the skilled trades. It is one program among many (Apprenticeship Grants, Employment Insurance benefits for apprentices, provincial/territorial support, income tax measures) that is designed to assist apprentices during their apprenticeship training. This report summarizes the evidence collected from four lines of evidence prepared specifically for Phase 1 of this evaluation and focuses on questions related to program relevance, the use of the loans, administrative costs, and program delivery and awareness. It is important to emphasize that this is the first phase of a two-phase evaluation (Phase 2 of the evaluation, which will focus on program impacts and loan repayment outcomes, will be completed in March 2020). Thus, some of the findings presented in this report can only provide preliminary evidence”--Executive summary, p. iii. gccst Vocational training gccst Loans gccst Program assessment Canada.
