It found that about 95% of apprentices and trainees who completed their training in a trade occupation were employed after training. Of these, about 68% were with the same employer as their apprenticeship or traineeship.<\/p>\n<p>For those completing training in non-trade occupations, NCVER found that about 89% were employed after training and about 71% were with the same employer as their apprenticeship or traineeship. The employment picture wasn\u2019t that bad for non-completers either, at around 84% for those in both trades and non-trades.<\/p>\n<p>Why did they do an apprenticeship or traineeship? NCVER tells us that, principally, it was because they wanted to work in that type of job or they wanted \u201cto gain a recognised qualification or certificate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The story is not that simple though, because, after training, about 75% of trade completers were employed in the same occupational grouping as their apprenticeship or traineeship. However, \u201ca further 12.6% were employed in a different occupational grouping to their apprenticeship\/traineeship and the training was relevant. In addition, \u201c19.4% of trade completers employed at the end of May 2022 were actively looking for another job \u2026 Of these, 30% were looking for another job because their pay was too low and 22.6% to broaden their knowledge and skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, around 32% of trade completers employed at the end of May 2022 were employed with a different employer to their apprenticeship\/traineeship. Of these, about 29% changed employers because they were offered a better job.<\/p>\n<p>Satisfaction with off-the-job training for completers remained steady in 2022, with about 87% of trade completers and 89% of non-trade completers satisfied overall with their off-the-job training. The picture isn\u2019t quite a rosy for the non-completers, though, with satisfaction levels of about 79% for trade non-completers and 69% for non-trade non-completers. Satisfaction with the on the job training was pretty good too for both those in trades and no-trades occupations at just over 89%.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to \u2018work its magic\u2019 on apprentices and trainees, with 15% of trade completers and about 18% of non-trade completers having their on-the-job training delayed. Off-the-job training also took longer than intended for about 32% of trade completers and 22% of non-trade completers because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The pandemic also increased exposure to online learning. Here, about 64% of trade completers undertook learning online. NCVER reports that, of these:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201c79.4% were satisfied with the support received from teachers\/trainers during online learning<\/li>\n<li>7% were satisfied with the overall quality of their online experience [but]<\/li>\n<li>8% faced at least one challenge with online learning.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>So, why didn\u2019t they complete?<\/h2>\n<p>NCVER tells us that trade non-completers did not complete their apprenticeship or traineeship for employment related reasons (about 65%), personal reasons (about 14%) or training related reasons (12.5%). Common reasons apprentices and trainees in trade occupations did not complete their training reported by NCVER were that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cthey didn\u2019t get on with their boss (13.2%)<\/li>\n<li>they left job\/changed career (8.9%)<\/li>\n<li>their apprenticeship\/traineeship was cancelled\/discontinued (8.3%).\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As regular readers will know, there is a drive at present to improve apprentice and trainee completion rates and, as we have reported before, the solutions seem to lie more with employers (about 65% of the issues) than VET providers (about 12 to 13%).<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\"><\/div>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/vdc.edu.au\/vdc-news\/employment-outcomes-for-apprentices-and-trainees-still-high\/\">Employment outcomes for apprentices and trainees still high<\/a> | <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/vdc.edu.au\">VDC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent NCVER publication \u201cApprentice and trainee outcomes 2022\u201d has reported on the outcomes for apprentices and trainees last year.
