Education in the skilled trades professions can be offered through three different skilled trades programs: Trades Foundation, Trades-Related Vocational, or Apprenticeship. Each of these programs offers both technical and practical education components.  \nStudent feedback is essential to maintain quality and relevance in the education system. Outcomes surveys are conducted with Trades Foundation, Trades-Related Vocational, and Apprenticeship students within two years of completing their programs, with funding from the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills, SkilledTradesBC (formerly the Industry Training Authority), and British Columbia's public post-secondary institutions.  \nAbout the Report  \nThe 2024 Trades Infographic report presents results for the 2024 BC Student Outcomes surveys of former Trades Foundation, Trades-Related Vocational, and Apprenticeship (including Traditional and Progressive Apprenticeship) students graduated during the period July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 in three sub-reports.  \nTrades Foundation  \nTrades Foundation programs, which usually offer training in both classrooms and shop settings, are designed to give students the key skills and knowledge needed for entry into a particular trade. Most foundation programs link to apprenticeship and can provide credit for the first level of technical training and for some of the work-based training hours that are required to complete an apprenticeship.  \nIn total, 4,227 former Trades Foundation students were eligible for the survey. Of these, 1,600 completed the survey for an overall response rate of 38 percent.  \n\n| Credential | Eligible for survey | Respondents | Response rate |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Certificate | 3,736 | 1,414 | 38% |\n| Diploma | 491 | 186 | 38% |\n| Grand Total | 4,227 | 1,600 | 38% |\n\nNote: Numbers are from the 2024 BC Student Outcomes survey of former Trades Foundation students.  \nBC Student Outcomes Program 1  \n2024 Trades | Infographic Report  \n\n| Trades Foundation Program Groups |  | Respondents |  | Percentage of respondents |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Automotive and Other Mechanics |  | 356 |  | 22% |  |\n| Carpentry |  | 124 |  | 8% |  |\n| Culinary Arts and Personal Services |  | 385 |  | 24% |  |\n| Electrician |  | 205 |  | 13% |  |\n| Industrial and Heavy Duty Mechanics and Other Repair Trades |  | 203 |  | 13% |  |\n| Other Trades |  | 38 |  | 2% |  |\n| Plumbing |  | 50 |  | 3% |  |\n| Welding and Precision Production |  | 239 |  | 15% |  |\n| Grand Total |  | 1,600 |  | 100% |  |\n| Note: The Trades Foundation program group of \"Industrial and Heavy Duty Mechanics and Other Repair Trades\" is shortened to\"Industrial and Heavy Duty Mechanics\" throughout the report. The Trades Foundation program groups of \"Other Construction Trades\" and \"Other Trades\" are grouped as “Other Trades” throughout the report due to low cohort numbers.\u003Cbr>Trades-Related Vocational\u003Cbr>Trades-Related Vocational training programs offer a broader educational experience than that found inan Apprenticeship or Trades Foundation program. These types of training programs do not usually connect to, or provide credit toward, an apprenticeship in a skilled trades profession.\u003Cbr>In total, 277 former Trades-Related Vocational students were eligible for the survey. Of these, 136 completed the survey for an overall response rate of 49 percent.\u003Cbr>Due to low cohort and respondent numbers of former Trades-Related Vocational students, only overall results of the 2024 Trades-Related Vocational programs are included in this report. |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Credential | Eligible for survey |  | ","cbCaicRBjmWWpXug","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicRBjmWWpXug","pdf",2084404,76,"English","# Introduction\n# About the Report\n# Trades Foundation\n## Trades Foundation Program Groups\n# Trades-Related Vocational\n## Trades-Related Vocational Program Groups\n# Apprenticeship","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the 2024 BC Student Outcomes trades surveys?\",\"answer\":\"The program collects feedback from former students in B.C. post-secondary skilled trades programs to maintain quality and relevance in education.
