The role of 'culture' in apprenticeship completions

This paper documents and finalises some work undertaken for the Apprenticeships for the 21st Century Expert Panel. It aims to explain the extent to which variation in apprenticeship completion rates can be attributed to factors relating to 'culture' of the employer and apprentice. 'Culture', in this case, refers to employer size, type (government, private or group training) and intensity of trades workers in the apprentice's home suburb. The authors find that all of these have an effect on apprenticeship completion rates.
