Note: This publication has been discontinued. Provides a summary of the outcomes of apprentices and trainees who completed (completers) or cancelled or withdrew (non-completers) from an apprenticeship or traineeship in 2019 compared with 2008 and 2010.
This project represents the second phase of a study investigating the extent to which the traditional approach to trade apprenticeships still has merit. Field consultation confirms strong support for continuing the traditional combination of on-and-off-the-job training under a training contract.
Part one of a three-part suite investigating the extent to which the traditional approach to trade apprenticeships still has merit, or if it requires adjustments to make it more relevant to current needs.
Note: This publication has been discontinued. The report provided a summary of outcomes and satisfaction for students who completed or cancelled/withdrew from an apprenticeship or traineeship in 2018, including personal and training characteristics, and information on further study.
This study compares the completion rates of apprentices and trainees employed with group training organisations versus those employed with direct employers.
This report explores whether VET undertaken by secondary students equips them with the technical and non-technical skills required to successfully participate in an ever-changing world of work.
This project gathered industry perspectives on the concept of higher apprenticeships along with views from other stakeholders in the VET and higher education systems.
The Apprentices and trainees estimates review dashboard aims to assess the accuracy of the estimates published by NCVER. This guide provides instructions on how to use the dashboard.
With their deep connections to industry, employers and the world of work, Australian apprenticeships have the potential to address skills challenges posed by Industry 4.0.
New research shows that five years after participating in VET in Schools, 87% of students were working, studying or both.
This research summary provides evidence of the changing nature of apprenticeships over a 20-year period (1996–2016), with a focus on a comparison of trade and non-trade apprentices and trainees.
This paper captures the views arising from a stakeholder forum held on 25 October 2016, at which participants discussed the future of Australian apprenticeships.
Apprenticeships have a particularly long and enduring history in Germany and Australia, this paper looks at the motivation of firms in both countries to become involved in apprenticeship training.
It is important to understand the critical role effective mental health and wellbeing support arrangements play in helping young Australian apprentices make the transition from school to work.
This good practice guide is designed to help employers think about and provide work-based social support structures for young apprentices.
Using the framework developed by NCVER, this case study evaluation reveals the extent to which NCVER's publications are influencing policy and practice in the vocational education and training sector.
The nature of apprenticeships is changing. Uptake of recognition of prior learning and the impacts of the earlier completion confirms there is considerable demand for alternative pathways into a trade.
Progression through training should be based on skills attained rather than time served, but the time-based approach to apprentice training remains dominant. This report investigates the factors affecting progression and completion.
How does the labour market reward students who complete a qualification compared to those who only compete modules? On average qualifications provide higher returns but the results vary depending on the trade.
