The Skills and Training Plan (announced September 2012) projects that there will be nearly one million job openings between 2012 and 2020 in British Columbia. Of these openings, 43 percent will need trades and technical training. It is anticipated that there will be a cumulative gap of 22,000 to 32,000 technical and trades workers in the province. The ministries of Advanced Education (AVED) and Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training (JTST), the Industry Training Authority (ITA), and the institutions that provide technical training share a commitment to expand and improve delivery of apprenticeship training in British Columbia. Information provided by the annual Apprenticeship Student Outcomes Survey is an important part of that process. The 2013 Apprenticeship Student Outcomes (APPSO) Survey is the ninth annual survey of former apprenticeship students. A total of 6,200 apprentices who completed their apprenticeship training at a B.C. post-secondary institution between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 were eligible for this survey. The survey was conducted, by telephone and web, from January to April 2013; there were 3,486 respondents, making the response rate 56 percent. To provide insight into the apprenticeship experience, former students were asked to: (1) rate aspects of their in-school and workplace training; (2) evaluate the usefulness of the knowledge and skills they gained; (3) quantify their level of satisfaction with their training; and (4) describe their post-training employment. This report presents a summary of the findings from the 2013 APPSO Survey. In some cases, comparisons are made with the results from previous years' apprenticeship surveys. The report is organized into the following sections: (1) details about the former students who were surveyed and what they studied; (2) their in-school experiences; (3) their workplace training experiences; and (4) their subsequent labour force participation, employment, and occupations. Data from the APPSO Survey are currently used by AVED and ITA for policy development and to monitor the effectiveness of the training system. Participating B.C. post-secondary institutions use information from the annual survey for program and curriculum reviews, for marketing and recruitment, and to assist prospective students with career decisions.
