Note that the impact of the [Coronavirus Disease 2019] COVID-19 pandemic on the Australian economy could affect the trends reported, therefore any comparisons of current trends with those of previous periods should be interpreted with caution.
This infographic provides a snapshot of apprenticeships and traineeships across Australia. It presents statistics on commencements, completions, cancellations and withdrawals and those currently in training. Unless stated otherwise, data is derived using the latest National Apprentice and Trainee Collection no.104, (June 2020 estimates), which is compiled under the Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard (AVETMISS) for Apprentice and Trainee Collection Specifications, Release 7.0, October 2015.
Due to lags in processing, the most recent figures are estimated (for training activity from September quarter 2018 to March quarter 2020). The estimation method involves weighting recently processed numbers, based on average reporting lags. As estimates are revised for up to seven quarters, figures for the last two years may differ from those published in earlier or in subsequent reports. Whereas non-estimated data reflects the actual data submitted by each jurisdiction which is also subject to change. Further details on the methodology can be found in 'Estimation of apprentice and trainee statistics' [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 100.15]. More information including longer term trends, detailed data and explanatory notes are available. The states and territories are diverse in terms of economies, industry and VET policy and this need to be considered in any detailed analysis.
