The Registered Apprenticeship data displayed in this resource is derived from several different sources with differing abilities to provide disaggregated data. The 25 federally-administered states and 16 federally-recognized State Apprenticeship Agencies (SAAs) use the Employment and Training Administration's Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Database System (RAPIDS) to provide individual apprentice and sponsor data. This subset of data is referred to as RAPIDS data and can be disaggregated to provide additional specificity. The federal subset of that data (25 states plus national programs) is known as the Federal Workload. The remaining federally recognized SAAs and the U.S. Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP) provide limited aggregate data on a quarterly basis that is then combined with RAPIDS data to provide a national data set on high-level metrics (apprentices and programs) but cannot generally be broken out in greater detail beyond the data provided here.

Demographic data for those enrolled in Ontario apprenticeship programs. The data covers 158 trades. For each trade, the data includes: * sector * Red Seal (yes/no) * total number of participants * gender * age cohort * number of approved sponsors * number of public training delivery agents * number of private training delivery agents

About the Apprenticeship Program

Apprenticeship is a model of learning that combines on-the-job and classroom-based training for employment in a skilled trade. To become an apprentice, an individual must be 16 years of age, have legal permission to work in Canada, meet the educational requirements for the chosen trade, and have a sponsor in Ontario who is willing to employ and train the individual during their apprenticeship. A sponsor is most often an employer, but can also be a union or trade association, and the sponsor must have access to the facilities, people, and equipment needed to train an individual in the trade. It takes between two and five years to complete an apprenticeship, and approximately 85 to 90 per cent of training takes place on-the-job. The remainder is spent in the classroom, which provides the theory to support the practical on-the-job training. The classroom component takes place at a Training Delivery Agent (TDA), which can be a college or a union training centre, and in most trades is undertaken for eight to twelve weeks at a time.

In Ontario the skilled trades are regulated by the Ontario College of Trades (OCoT), which includes setting training and certification standards for the skilled trades. At the outset of an apprenticeship the individual signs a training agreement with the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD) which outlines the conditions of the apprenticeship, and within 90 days of signing the agreement the apprentice must register with OCoT. At the conclusion of the apprenticeship the individual may be required to write a Certificate of Qualification (CoQ) exam to demonstrate his/her knowledge and competency related to the tasks involved with the practice of the trade.

About This Dataset

This dataset contains data on apprentices in Ontario for each calendar year from 2011 through 2015 inclusive, showing the number of registered apprentices by trade, gender, and registration status (new or returning), and the average age, outcomes, and duration of registration. The data is aggregated from the annual data report by the government of Ontario to the Registered Apprenticeship Information System (RAIS), an annual national survey conducted by Statistics Canada and sponsored by Employment and Social Development Canada. This submission includes details on every apprentice registered in Ontario in the calendar year.

The purpose of the RAIS survey is to gather information on individuals who receive training and those who obtain certification within a trade where apprenticeship training is being offered. Each record in the survey is a registered apprentice or trade qualifier, and is collected by Statistics Canada through data requests to the provinces and territories, holders of the records for individuals in their jurisdiction. Further details of the survey are available on the website of Statistics Canada:

This table provides quarterly data on the number of apprenticeship learning programmes started in work-based learning (WBL) in Wales. The data includes WBL that is delivered by further education institutions and also WBL delivered by other training providers. 2024/25 data is calculated using the month 9 freeze of the Lifelong Learning Wales record (LLWR). This freeze was produced on the 24th April 2025. New work-based learning contract arrangements came into effect on 1st August 2021. This resulted in the transfer of around 4,800 existing apprentices to new providers with new programme records created on the Lifelong Learning Wales Record. New programme records resulting from a transfer are usually included in the statistics on apprenticeship starts with the exception of the target measure. In 2021/22 Q1, however, we excluded the records as so many learners were transferred that the statistics would have presented a misleading picture of apprenticeship starts in that quarter had they been left in. From 2016/17 onwards all data in the table is calculated using the month 5 freeze of the Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR). This freeze is produced close to the end of the December after the academic year in question finishes. For example, the freeze containing the 2016/17 data was taken close to the end of December 2017. Prior to 2016/17 data in the table was calculated using the month 7 freeze of the Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR). This freeze was produced close to the end of the February after the academic year in question finishes. For example, the freeze containing the 2015/16 data was taken close to the end of February 2017. Data in the table is presented on an academic year basis, which runs from 1st August - 31st July. All figures are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5. Any values greater than 0 and less than 5 have been suppressed and replaced with an asterisk (*).

ACTIVE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS, APPRENTICESHIP SPONSORS & APPROVED TRAINING DELIVERY AGENTS (TDA) BY TRADE - PROVINCE OF ONTARIO

Demographic data for those enrolled in Ontario apprenticeship programs. The data covers 158 trades.

For each trade, the data includes:

sector Red Seal (yes/no) total number of participants gender age cohort number of approved sponsors number of public training delivery agents number of private training delivery agents

A program participant is an individual who is active in an apprenticeship training program for a specific trade. To be included in the count, program participants must have a training agreement with a sponsor that is currently registered with the Ministry or was in a registered status within the last 12 months. Program participants currently without registered training agreements are usually between apprenticeship jobs or attending classroom training.

A sponsor is responsible for an apprentice’s on-the-job training. Sponsors are typically employers, unions or local apprenticeship committees. Because one sponsor may sponsor apprentices in multiple trades, this column cannot be summed to arrive at the total number of unique apprenticeship sponsors.

Training delivery agents (TDAs) are approved by the Ministry to deliver the classroom training component of apprenticeship programs. Because one TDA may deliver classroom training for multiple trades, this column cannot be summed to arrive at the total number of unique TDAs.

Explanation of Dataset Column Headings:

TRADE SECTOR: Trades are grouped into four sectors: Construction, Industrial, Motive Power, and Service.

REDSEAL = Red Seal certification in a trade means the holder can work in any province that participates in the Interprovincial Red Seal Program without further assessment or testing.

TOTAL PARTICIPANTS = Total number of apprenticeship program participants in the trade; where the number for of total participants is less than 20, the actual number is not displayed to protect the privacy of individual program participants.

MALE/FEMALE: Where the number for one of the genders is less than 20, actual numbers are not displayed to protect the privacy of individual program participants. Instead, the information will display as either “< 20” or “> 20”.

Column headings for the age cohort for participants:

• AGE UNDER 20 = Under 20 years of age

• AGE 20-29 = Between 20 and 29

• AGE 30-44 = Between 30 and 44

• AGE 45-54 = Between 45 and 54

• AGE 55PLUS = Over 55 years of age

PUBLIC TDAS = Training delivery agents that are Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology; Institutes of Technology and Advanced Learning

PRIVATE TDAS = Training delivery agents funded privately, including union-run training centres, private career colleges and employer-run training centres. * Unique Counts cannot be derived by summing these columns. Unique totals are provided on the Grand Total Summary Line.

Notes:

1. Cells with counts representing individuals that total less than 20 have been supressed for privacy reasons indicated with an "<20".

When appropriate, counts of remaining age ranges in the same trade, where providing those values allow the suppressed value to be calculated,

were also suppressed for privacy reasons and indicated with an ">20".

2.As one employer may sponsor apprentices in multiple trades, this column cannot be summed to arrive at the total number of unique apprenticeship sponsors.

3.Training Delivery Agents (TDAs) are approved by the Ministry to deliver in the in-class component of apprenticeship program.

4.As one TDA may deliver classroom training for multiple trades, this column cannot be summed to arrive at the total number of unique TDAs.

This dataset contains data on apprentices for each of the twenty-six Local Board (LB) areas in Ontario for the 2015/16 fiscal year, based on data provided to Local Boards and Local Employment Planning Councils (LEPC) in June 2016 (see below for details on Local Boards). For each of the data fields below apprentices are distributed across Local Board areas as follows:Number of Certificates of Apprenticeship (CofAs) Issued: Based on postal code of sponsor with whom they completed their training.Number of New Registrations: Based on the postal code of the sponsor with whom they initiated training.Number of Active Apprentices: Based on the postal code of the apprentice’s current or last sponsor.Note that trades with no new registrations in the 2015/16 fiscal year are not listed in this dataset. For a complete list of trades in Ontario please see http://www.collegeoftrades.ca/wp-content/uploads/tradesOntarioTradesCodes_En.pdf.Due to the fact that managing member records and data for journeypersons function was transferred to the Ontario College of Trades in April 2013, this dataset does not contain information regarding Certificates of Qualification or journeypersons.Definitions for field in this layer are available in the abbreviated Technical Dictionary.

This includes state and national program data entered or uploaded into the Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Database System (RAPIDS).

Data on the number of vacancies posted and applications made through the Apprenticeship vacancy online system.
