The apprenticeship model of work-based training is often held up as an effective mechanism for enabling individuals to learn specific skills and subsequently transition to employment in a skilled occupation. Over time, technological, regulatory and social changes have affected the training of apprentices. It is in this context that the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) undertook a three-phase study to investigate the demand for traditional trade apprentices and determine whether the training they receive meets current needs. This final component of the project draws primarily on findings from the 2019 Apprentice and Trainee Experience and Destinations Survey to examine the experiences of the traditional trade apprentices themselves. It looks at the experiences of the traditional trade apprentice and in doing so focuses primarily on findings from the 2019 Apprentice and Trainee Experience and Destinations Survey, with data from the 2010 survey included, where relevant, to examine changes over time. The survey allows the authors to investigate the experiences and outcomes of apprentices who did and those who did not complete their traditional trade apprenticeship.
