Foundation programs give students the key skills and knowledge needed for entry into a trade. A traditional apprenticeship requires four or five levels of training. Progressive apprenticeship programs make it possible for an apprentice to obtain a certificate of qualification after each "progression." Foundation programs can link to traditional or progressive apprenticeships. Some foundation programs are available to high school students. Former students who have taken trades foundation programs are surveyed by the Diploma, Associate Degree, and Certificate Student Outcomes (DACSO) Survey. Using data from the 2014 DASCO Survey, with some additional data from the 2010 to 2013 surveys, this report explores who took trades foundation programs, whether these former students go on to apprenticeships, and what their employment outcomes were. [The BC Student Outcomes surveys are conducted with funding from the Ministry of Advanced Education, the participating British Columbia post-secondary institutions, and the Industry Training Authority.]
