About

The Apprenticeship and Certification Board provides a governance and leadership role within its advisory mandate to coordinate a relevant, accessible and responsive apprenticeship and certification system in Manitoba. The Board’s governance role involves responsibility for the development of an annual strategic plan based on consultations with stakeholders to identify and provide leadership on issues that have an impact on the apprenticeship system as a whole.

The Board consists of a non-voting chairperson (except to break a tie), twelve (12) voting members and one (1) non-voting member who are appointed by the Minister:

1. a chair
2. five members representing employers
3. five members representing employees
4. two members representing the public interest
5. an apprentice representative

The Board is responsible for:

1. promoting apprenticeship training and certification;
   
2. supporting employer and employee participation in apprenticeship and certification;
   
3. advising the minister about the training needs of Manitobans and the needs of the  Manitoba labour market for skilled and trained persons; and
   
4. participating in interprovincial apprenticeship initiatives.
   

The Board has four Standing Committees that are solely comprised of Board members:

1. A governance and planning standing committee.
2. A community liaison standing committee.
3. A program standards standing committee.
4. A nominating standing committee.

Standing Committees are designed to allow Board members to focus on a particular area of interest and allow specific issues to be dealt with in-depth without involving the entire Board.
