Issues • Attrition rates in Queensland in the late 1990s 57%-67% for apprentices using NCVER methodology. 38% for 1996/97 period using DETYA methodology • Recent research indicates a significant number of apprentices leave their contracts to take up permanent jobs with better pay and conditions • Other reasons cited for leaving apprenticeships are: • No proper on the job training • Literacy/numeracy difficulties, but not stupid • Inadequate career advice • Used as cheap labour

  5. The way young people learn 526000 young people underemployed/unemployed Labour shortage not skills shortage TAFE & trade training presents as old fashioned and old world Pre exposure to trade may reduce attrition to 8% Majority of school based apprentices not in economically important sectors-only 9% in manufacturing ISSUES

  6. Engaging and empowering apprentices to take control of their learning program: • Identify student needs through a profiling approach to provide best fit training method (essential for adult learners) • Focus on literacy/numeracy and learning profiles to allow gaps to be identified before the student enters formal training • Build a student focused learning plan and pastoral care support • Reconstruct learning experiences based on profiles - for immediate and authentic task alignment – early wins • Build knowledge and skills through topic and task structures mapped back to competencies
