This infographic provides a snapshot of apprenticeships and traineeships across Australia. It presents statistics on commencements, completions, cancellations and withdrawals and those currently in training. Unless stated otherwise, data is derived using the latest National Apprentice and Trainee Collection no.95, (March 2018 estimates), which is compiled under the Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard (AVETMISS) for Apprentice and Trainee Collection Specifications, Release 7.0, October 2015.
Due to lags in processing, the most recent figures are estimated (for training activity from March quarter 2016 to December quarter 2017). The estimation method involves weighting recently processed numbers, based on average reporting lags. As estimates are revised for up to seven quarters, figures for the last two years may differ from those published in earlier or in subsequent reports. Further details on the methodology can be found in the technical paper 'Estimation of apprentice and trainee statistics' [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 100.15]. More information including longer term trends, detailed data and explanatory notes are available. The states and territories are diverse in terms of economies, industry and VET policy and this need to be considered in any detailed analysis.
There were 256,140 apprentices and trainees in-training as at 31 December 2017, a decrease of 2.8 per cent from 31 December 2016. In the December quarter 2017, compared with the December quarter 2016: commencements increased by 7.6 per cent, to 35,945; completions decreased by 8.4 per cent, to 25,105; and cancellations and withdrawals decreased by 1.5 per cent, to 22,530. In the 12 months ending 31 December 2017, compared with the 12 months ending 31 December 2016: commencements decreased by 1.7 per cent, to 163,945; completions decreased by 3.7 per cent, to 95,090; and cancellations and withdrawals decreased by 1.0 per cent, to 92,235.
