Apprenticeships and traineeships: participation, progress and completion

This briefing paper draws together findings from two Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) research reports: ‘Participation in and progress through apprenticeships’ (indexed at TD/TNC 83.428), and ‘VET pathways taken by school leavers’ (indexed at TD/ERD 87.180). These two reports use data obtained from young people who were in Year 9 at school in 1995 and whose educational and occupational activities were traced each year thereafter. Student characteristics, fields of training, commencement and completion rates, and reasons for discontinuing training are all explored.
