The CRAFT Women pre-apprenticeship training program has a unique focus – it is designed for women and taught by women. Officially named Creating Real Apprenticeships for Toronto (CRAFT), the 14-week program is being delivered by the College of Carpenters (CMC), which is affiliated with the Local 27 Training Centre.
