The Daily. Wednesday, August 15, 2001 Registered apprenticeship training1999In 1999, the number of registered apprentices increased 6% to 188,776. Since 1994, the number of such apprentices has grown 14% - almost returning to the peak reached in the early 1990s. Registrations have increased by 15% or more since 1994 in all but two of the major trade groups. The two exceptions are building construction and electrical and electronics trades, where increases over the last year raised registrations to about the same level as in 1994. As apprenticeship numbers have been increasing, the age profile of apprentices has been changing. Between 1994 and 1999, a decrease has occurred in the 25-to-34 age group, with the increase in apprentices occurring in the older and younger age groups. While the 20-to-24 age group now makes up the largest age group, the most noticeable growth has been in the 19 and under age group. The increase in the number of younger apprentices in recent years may have resulted from the extensive promotions of apprenticeship training in high schools by governments and trade associations concerned about the ageing of the work force in the trades.
