Increasing attention is again being paid to the development of apprenticeships and traineeships in Australia’s vocational education and training (VET) system, particularly following the introduction of New Apprenticeships from 1 January 1998 and the rapid expansion of traineeships. The purpose of this report is to provide information on trends over the years 1995 to 1998 in the realm of contracts of training in VET, that is apprenticeships and traineeships. It gives historical apprenticeship and traineeship data over the period 1995 to 1998 in order to identify current trends in numbers in training, commencements and completions in the context of occupational area, prior qualifications, level, employer characteristics and other economic and demographic considerations.
