Apprentices and trainees 2020 – September quarter
Latest national data shows apprentice and trainee commencements were down 23% in the September quarter 2020 when compared with the same quarter in 2019.
Commencements and completions both decreased significantly in this quarter. In particular, trade commencements decreased by 28.2% and non-trade completions decreased by 20.4% when compared with the same quarter in 2019.
The total number of apprentices and trainees in-training at 30 September 2020 was down 4.2% from 30 September 2019, with a 9.2% decrease for non-trade occupations and a 1.7% decrease for trades.
These numbers are prior to the introduction of the Australian Government’s Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements wage subsidy in October 2020.
