Apprenticeship Training in British Columbia: What We Can Learn from the 2016 Apprenticeship Student Outcomes Survey. Report of Findings
BC Student Outcomes
The 2016 Apprenticeship Student Outcomes (APPSO) Survey is the twelfth annual survey of former apprenticeship students. Former students who completed their apprenticeship training at a B.C. post-secondary institution between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015 were eligible for this survey. These former students were surveyed by telephone and online from January to May 2016. This report presents a summary of the findings for the 2016 APPSO Survey. The majority of the results presented are for respondents who took traditional apprenticeship training. Where possible, the results for progressive credential programs are also presented. The report is organized into the following sections: (1) details about the former students who were surveyed and what they studied; (2) their in-school experiences; (3) their workplace training experiences; and (4) their subsequent labour force participation, employment, and occupations. [The BC Student Outcomes surveys are conducted with funding from the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training and participating British Columbia post-secondary institutions. Additional funding for the APPSO Survey is provided by the Industry Training Authority. For the "2015 Apprenticeship Student Outcomes Survey: Report of Findings," see ED590402.]
