Outcomes  \nShaping Post-Secondary Education  \nApprenticeship Infographic Report  \nResults from the 2017 BC Student Outcomes Survey of Former Apprenticeship Students  \nThe Apprenticeship Infographic Report: Results from the 2017 BC Student Outcomes Survey of Former Apprenticeship Students has been prepared by BC Stats for the BC Student Outcomes Research Forum.  \nPublication date: May 20, 2020  \nApprenticeship Students  \nIntroduction  \nThe apprenticeship training system in B.C. includes public post-secondary institutions, the Industry Training Authority (ITA), private training institutions, and employers. Currently, apprenticeship training is available in more than 100 trades, including 49 Interprovincial Red Seal trades.1 The majority of apprenticeship training is provided on-thejob, while approximately 20 percent is delivered as in-class technical training through a postsecondary institution or private training provider.  \nThe majority of apprenticeships require a minimum of four years to complete, though they vary by occupation, ranging from one to five years. A successful apprentice is one who completes the in-school technical training and the required work hours, passes examinations, and is recommended for certification by their sponsoring employer to earn a“ticket” in a skilled trade. That credential, a Certificate of Qualification (C of Q), is issued by the Industry Training Authority on behalf of the Province of British Columbia.  \nFormer apprenticeship students are surveyed as part of BC Student Outcomes, an ongoing research program that gathers information from former students for B.C.’s public postsecondary institutions, the ITA, and the Province of British Columbia.  \nAbout theReport  \nThis report presents results for the thirteenth annual survey of former apprenticeship students. In total, 4,662 former apprenticeship students were eligible to complete the survey. Of these, 95 percent had taken traditional apprenticeship programs, which are programs with multiple levels of in-school technical training taken during block release periods from work. These programs result in certification only upon completion of all levels of the program.  \nThe remaining 5 percent had been enrolled in progressive credential programs, which provide both on-the-job training and in-school technical training. Progressive credential programs result in certification upon completion of each sequential training course for certain programs.  \n\n| Apprenticeship Program Groups | Respondents | Percentage of\u003Cbr>respondents |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Automotive & Other Mechanics | 269 | 11% |\n| Carpentry | 203 | 8% |\n| Culinary Arts & Personal Services | 131 | 5% |\n| Electrician | 432 | 18% |\n| Industrial & Heavy Duty Mechanics | 442 | 18% |\n| Plumbing | 227 | 9% |\n| Welding & Precision Production | 452 | 19% |\n| Other Apprenticeship Programs | 277 | 11% |\n| Total Apprenticeship Respondents | 2,433 | 100% |\n\nContents  \nWho were the 2017 apprentices?....4  \nWhat were their in-school experiences?.......................................6  \nWhat were their workplace experiences?.....................................10  \nWhat happened after their training?...........................................12  \nWhat are they doing now? ............ 14  \nAbout BC Student Outcomes .......17  \nSurvey Methodology......................17  \nClick  here to find out more about the survey of apprenticeship students and see the questionnaire.  \nThe 3 most common  \nprogram groups were:  \n-Welding & Precision Production  \n-Industrial & Heavy Duty Mechanics  \n-Electrician  \nNote:  \nPercentages in thereport may not add to 100 due to rounding.  \n1 The Red Seal is recognized across Canada as a signal that the apprentice has passed a standardized national exam.  \n2017 Apprenticeship Student Outcomes Survey: Infographic Report  \nWho were the 2017 apprenticeship students?  \n92%  \nwere men  \n29  \nwas the median age at the time of the survey  \n14%  \ntook an apprenticeship program","cbCail0bIVENbDAh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail0bIVENbDAh","pdf",792927,17,"English","# Who were the 2017 apprentices?\n# What were their in-school experiences?\n# What were their workplace experiences?\n# What happened after their training?\n# What are they doing now?\n# About BC Student Outcomes\n## Survey Methodology","[{\"question\":\"Who is the report intended for and who prepared it?\",\"answer\":\"The report presents results for the BC Student Outcomes research program and was prepared by BC Stats for the BC Student Outcomes Research Forum.\"},{\"question\":\"How many former apprenticeship students were eligible for the 2017 survey?\",\"answer\":\"In total, 4,662 former apprenticeship students were eligible to complete the survey.\"},{\"question\":\"What percentages of former apprentices were in traditional versus progressive credential programs?\",\"answer\":\"Ninety-five percent had taken traditional apprenticeship programs, while the remaining 5 percent had been enrolled in progressive credential programs.\"}]","Apprenticeship Infographic Report - Results from the 2017 BC Student Outcomes Survey of Former Apprenticeship Students | PDF",1792043729,43]
