A new study from Statistics Canada uses data from the 2007 National Apprenticeship Survey to investigate factors related program completion amongst registered apprentices.
The results indicate that program completion is positively related to a number of demographic characteristics, including being married, having fewer children, and having completed at least a high school education prior to beginning an apprenticeship. Divorced and single individuals, Aboriginal people, visible minorities, individuals with an activity limitation, and those with low education levels are all less likely to complete their apprenticeships. The report also looks at the impact of a variety of other factors including the type of training completed, trade group, time in the apprenticeship program, number of employers during training, and the apprentice's province of residence.
The full report, The Completion Behaviour of Registered Apprentices: Who Continues, Who Quits, and Who Completes Programs?, may be downloaded here in .pdf format.
