Notes: In 2008, the Registered Apprenticeship Information System (RAIS) underwent a major survey redesign.
The number of registered apprentices includes those still registered from the previous year (apprentices who have not yet completed and have not withdrawn from training) plus apprentices newly registered during the current year.
To ensure the confidentiality of responses, all counts are randomly rounded to a multiple of 3. Since the total and subtotal values are independently rounded, the total values may not match the sums of the individual values. Similarly, percentage distributions, which are calculated on rounded data, may not necessarily add up to 100%.
For a brief description of this indicator, including the methodology, please see the Handbook for the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program.
