NATIONAL CENTRE FOR VOCATIONAL EDUCATION RESEARCH (NCVER)


NAME OF COLLECTION

National Apprentice and Trainee Collection


OVERVIEW

The National Apprentice and Trainee Collection contains information on all persons employed under a training contract and includes both apprentices and trainees.

In some cases, the state training authority in each state or territory is responsible for both the administration of training contracts and the collection of apprentice and trainee data. In other cases, the administration of training contracts has been outsourced to other organisations. The state training authority remains the organisation responsible for the provision of apprentice and trainee data to the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER).

Data are reported quarterly and consolidated annually.


SCOPE

It is designed to apply to information collected for all persons employed under a training contract and includes both apprentices and trainees.
