The rationale for this work is to create more effective linkages with pre-vocational programs so as to meet the needs of younger learners with potential to become entrants into technology-related industries.

- The number of people commencing a non-trade apprenticeship or traineeship increased by 1.6%
The trades in which commencements have been most hit by the economic downturn are automotive and engineering, construction, electrotechnology and telecommunications, and the wood trades.
