Apprenticeships

330 Ms BETTISON (Ramsay) (5 September 2018). Can the minister advise the number of school leavers entering apprenticeships in 2017-18 both as a raw figure and as a proportion of all school leavers?

The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley—Minister for Industry and Skills): I have been advised:

To provide accurate data, the Department for Industry and Skills will need to cross reference with the Education Department (noting data has been asked for the 2017-18 financial year—not the school year). Additionally, there are issues with data collection i.e. the release of names across agencies and data only being able to be collected from government schools.
