824 The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay) (15 May 2019). The Marshall Liberal government states it will create 20,800 new apprenticeships and traineeships over the next four years. Is this 20,800 completions or 20,800 commencements of new apprenticeships and traineeships?

The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley—Minister for Innovation and Skills): The Marshall Liberal government's Skilling South Australia commitment is to create an additional 20,800 apprenticeship and traineeship commencements. In pursuing this target, the Department for Innovation and Skills is working directly with industry and businesses to ensure completions and ongoing job outcomes.
