Canada Games Apprenticeship Program:

December 11, 2023

Value

Varies.

Description

The Canada Games Apprenticeship Program is a partnership between the Government of Alberta, Canada Games Council (CGC), and the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC), in addition to the Aboriginal Sport Council (ASC).

The purpose of the Canada Games Apprenticeship Program is to provide women coaches with practical experience through a major national multisport games experience. Selected coaches have direct involvement in preparation and competition and receive support from an identified mentor coach throughout the duration of the program.

This program provides the opportunity for each province and territory to send 2 female, and 2 aboriginal coaches to the Canada Games in apprenticeship roles. The apprenticeship programs are an essential part of the development of a coach. Furthermore, apprenticeship programs can be used as a means to build capacity in underrepresented populations in coaching, such as women and aboriginals.

Eligible Applicants

Objectives

  • Build coaching capacity for women and aboriginal coaches in sport.
  • Provide female and aboriginal apprentice coaches with domestic multisport exposure.
  • Provide female and aboriginal apprentice coaches with enhanced professional development and learning opportunities to prepare them for higher level coaching and ensure an increase in their level of certification to a minimum of Competition Development (Apprentice coaches complete certification within 2 years following the Games).
  • Expose female and aboriginal apprentice coaches to elite coaches’ experiences.
  • Ensure female and aboriginal apprentice coaches are prepared to play a meaningful role during the Canada Games experience.

Eligible Expenses

Desired, measurable outcomes are established in consultation with the PTCRs, the CGC, and the CAC.

  • The goal of the program is to have at least 75% of the quota allocations for women apprentice coaches in this
    program filled for the Games;
  • Two professional development sessions are conducted before the Games;
  • 80% attendance at professional development sessions;
  • 100% of all apprentice coaches attending the Games will have been trained in the relevant context within one
    year following the Games;
  •  75% of all apprentice coaches attending the Games will have been certified in the relevant context within two

    community, provincial/territorial, or national level applying the experience gained from the Games;
  • 100% of apprentice coaches, mentor coaches, and P/TSOs in this program will complete a feedback survey;
