In the dashboard below we track what apprentices are doing each year after starting their apprenticeship. We can see a steady transition from ITO training into employment and self-employment.
Methodology
Each year we gather all new apprentices starting training with BCITO, Competenz, or Skills Org. We track these apprentices through administrative records and determine their primary activity each year after starting their apprenticeship. Activities are ranked in order of:
- Apprentice (continued ITO enrollment)
- Tertiary student (enrollment with other tertiary organisations)
- Employer (business income)
- Employee (wages and salaries, full time for at least 3 months)
- Overseas (an overseas spell for more than 3 months)
- Beneficiary (beneficiary income)
Where an apprentice who is still enrolled in with apprenticeship program with their ITO but also in employment will be recorded only as an apprentice.
