This publication 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 are derived from the latest National Apprentice and Trainee Collection (no. 113, September 2022 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 the delay in time between an event (commencement, completion, etc.) occurring and the reporting of that event to the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), NCVER estimates the most recent figures. 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. The final counts are those submitted by jurisdictions. Further details on the methodology can be found in the 'Estimation of apprentice and trainee statistics' technical paper [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 100.15].

Notes: (1) The [Coronavirus Disease 2019] COVID-19 pandemic in Australia has created uncertain times for individuals, business and governments, which have affected apprentice and trainee numbers. Care should be taken when comparing 2020 to 2022 data with data from previous years; and (2) In-training figures represent the number of apprenticeship and traineeship training contracts where the apprentice or trainee is actively training under the terms of their contract, and who have not completed, cancelled or withdrawn from their training, or had their training contract expired without meeting all of the prescribed requirements of their program. The figure reflects the number of active contracts at a given point in time (at the end of the quarter), and therefore in-training figures cannot be cumulated over time. For this reason, quarterly comparisons are equivalent to 12-months ending comparisons, as they both represent the changes as at 30 June from one year to the next.

In Australia, there were 415,240 apprentices and trainees in-training as at 30 June 2022, an increase of 21.6 per cent from 30 June 2021. In the June quarter 2022, compared with the June quarter 2021: commencements increased by 36.5 per cent, to 66,885; completions increased by 16.6 per cent, to 20,750; and cancellations and withdrawals increased by 24.1 per cent, to 32,015. In the 12 months ending 30 June 2022, compared with the 12 months ending 30 June 2021: commencements increased by 22.1 per cent, to 264,320; completions increased by 15.3 per cent, to 88,855; and cancellations and withdrawals increased by 39.6 per cent, to 119,805.

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.96, (June 2018 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 2016 to March quarter 2018). 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 the technical paper '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.

There were 272,440 apprentices and trainees in-training as at 31 March 2018, a decrease of 1.2 per cent from 31 March 2017. In the March quarter 2018, compared with the March quarter 2017: commencements increased by 1.5 per cent, to 56,015; completions decreased by 9.0 per cent, to 22,425; cancellations and withdrawals increased by 4.0 per cent, to 23,980. In the 12 months ending 31 March 2018, compared with the 12 months ending 31 March 2017: commencements decreased by 0.9 per cent, to 164,150; completions decreased by 4.6 per cent, to 92,130; cancellations and withdrawals increased by 0.4 per cent, to 92,765.

This leaflet offers a brief summary of information relevant to Western Australia gained from students who undertook vocational education and training (VET) during 1998 at a TAFE institute in Australia. Information is given about two groups of students: graduates and module completers. Module completer information was collected for the first time on students who successfully completed part, but not all, of the training necessary to complete a full qualification and had left the TAFE system at the time of the survey. The survey gathered information on the employment situation of TAFE graduates, reasons for undertaking the course, relevance of the training to their employment, satisfaction, and further study intentions.
