Methodology
For each year from 2007 to 2016 we take all new trainees in the ITO's we follow. From these trainees, we track their primary activity each year prior to starting training within the period of 2007 to 2016. We rank activities in order of:
- ITO training
- Tertiary study
- Polytechnic study
- Secondary schooling
- Employer (Workforce)
- Employee (Workforce)
- Beneficiary
- Overseas
For this analysis we aggregate across the new ITO trainees each year and their primary activities each year prior to starting training. ITO training areas are defined through the qualification details provided by the Ministry of Education.
