The number of individuals in high school registered in the RAP, the number of individuals who participated in RAP in high school who are now registered in a regular apprenticeship program, and the number of individuals who participated in RAP and have since become certified. The data is presented by trade for the most recent calendar year.

This map presents the full data available on the MLTSD GeoHub, and maps several of the key variables reflected by the Apprenticeship Program of ETD.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 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 DatasetThis 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.About Local BoardsLocal Boards are independent not-for-profit corporations sponsored by the Ministry of Labour, Training, and Skills Development (MLTSD) to improve the condition of the labour market in their specified region. These organizations are led by business and labour representatives, and include representation from constituencies including educators, trainers, women, Francophones, persons with disabilities, visible minorities, youth, Indigenous community members, and others. For the 2015/16 fiscal year there were twenty-six Local Boards, which collectively covered all of the province of Ontario. The primary role of Local Boards is to help improve the conditions of their local labour market by:engaging communities in a locally-driven process to identify and respond to the key trends, opportunities and priorities that prevail in their local labour markets;facilitating a local planning process where community organizations and institutions agree to initiate and/or implement joint actions to address local labour market issues of common interest; creating opportunities for partnership development activities and projects that respond to more complex and/or pressing local labour market challenges; andorganizing events and undertaking activities that promote the importance of education, training and skills upgrading to youth, parents, employers, employed and unemployed workers, and the public in general. In December 2015, the government of Ontario launched an eighteen-month Local Employment Planning Council pilot program, which established LEPCs in eight regions in the province formerly covered by Local Boards. LEPCs expand on the activities of existing Local Boards, leveraging additional resources and a stronger, more integrated approach to local planning and workforce development to fund community-based projects that support innovative approaches to local labour market issues, provide more accurate and detailed labour market information, and develop detailed knowledge of local service delivery beyond Employment Ontario (EO). Eight existing Local Boards were awarded LEPC contracts that were effective as of January 1st, 2016. As such, from January 1st, 2016 to March 31st, 2016, these eight Local Boards were simultaneously Local Employment Planning Councils. The eight Local Boards awarded contracts were:Durham Workforce AuthorityPeel-Halton Workforce Development GroupWorkforce Development Board - Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland, HaliburtonOttawa Integrated Local Labour Market PlanningFar Northeast Training BoardNorth Superior Workforce Planning BoardElgin Middlesex Oxford Workforce Planning & Development BoardWorkforce Windsor-EssexMLTSD has provided Local Boards and LEPCs with demographic and outcome data for clients of Employment Ontario (EO) programs delivered by service providers across the province on an annual basis since June 2013. This was done to assist Local Boards in understanding local labour market conditions. These datasets may be used to facilitate and inform evidence-based discussions about local service issues – gaps, overlaps and under-served populations - with EO service providers and other organizations as appropriate to the local context.Data on the following EO programs for the 2015/16 fiscal year was made available to Local Boards and LEPCs in June 2016: Employment Services (ES)Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS)Second Career (SC) ApprenticeshipThis dataset contains the 2015/16 apprenticeship data that was sent to Local Boards and LEPCs. Datasets covering past fiscal years will be released in the future.Notes and DefinitionsSponsor – A sponsor is defined as a person who has entered into a registered training agreement under which the person is required to ensure that an individual is provided with the training required as part of an apprenticeship program established by the College of Ontario.

Post-Secondary Transition Rate (4 year) is the percentage of students in the grade 10 cohort who have entered a post-secondary-level program at an Alberta post-secondary institution or registered in an Alberta apprenticeship program within four years of entering grade 10, adjusted for attrition. An estimate of out-of-province post-secondary enrollment is applied based on the numbers of funded Alberta students attending post-secondary institutions out of province.

The footnotes in the table are represented in brackets.Footnotes:1 For the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) estimates, the global non-response rate (GNR) is used as an indicator of data quality. This indicator combines complete non-response (household) and partial non-response (question) into a single rate. The value of the GNR is presented to users. A smaller GNR indicates a lower risk of non-response bias and as a result, lower risk of inaccuracy. The threshold used for estimates' suppression is a GNR of 50% or more. For more information, please refer to the National Household Survey User Guide, 2011.2 Those classified in the category 'Neither English nor French' appear only in the 'Total' category in this table.3 Refers to the first language learned at home in childhood and still understood by the individual on May 10, 2011.4 Refers to the ability to conduct a conversation in English only, in French only, in both English and French, or in neither English nor French.5 Population by language used most often at work. Refers to the language used most often at work, as reported on May 10, 2011 by the individuals aged 15 years and over who worked since January 1, 2010.6 Refers to the other language used regularly at work, as reported on May 10, 2011 by the individuals aged 15 years and over who worked since January 1, 2010.7 Refers to whether a person was employed, unemployed or not in the labour force during the week of Sunday, May 1 to Saturday, May 7, 2011. In the past, this variable was called Labour force activity.8 Refers to the kind of work performed by persons during the week of Sunday, May 1 to Saturday, May 7, 2011, as determined by their kind of work and the description of the main activities in their job. The 2011 National Household Survey occupation data are produced according to the NOC 2011.9 Unemployed persons aged 15 years and over who have never worked for pay or in self-employment or who had last worked prior to January 1, 2010 only.10 Experienced labour force refers to persons who, during the week of Sunday, May 1 to Saturday, May 7, 2011, were employed and the unemployed who had last worked for pay or in self-employment in either 2010 or 2011.11 'Highest certificate, diploma or degree' refers to the highest certificate, diploma or degree completed based on a hierarchy which is generally related to the amount of time spent 'in-class.' For postsecondary completers, a university education is considered to be a higher level of schooling than a college education, while a college education is considered to be a higher level of education than in the trades. Although some trades requirements may take as long or longer to complete than a given college or university program, the majority of time is spent in on-the-job paid training and less time is spent in the classroom. For further definitions, refer to the National Household Survey Dictionary, Catalogue no. 99-000-X. For any comments on collection, dissemination or data quality for this variable, refer to the Education Reference Guide, National Household Survey, Catalogue no. 99-012-X2011006.12 'High school diploma or equivalent' includes persons who have graduated from a secondary school or equivalent. It excludes persons with a postsecondary certificate, diploma or degree.13 'Postsecondary certificate, diploma or degree' includes 'apprenticeship or trades certificates or diplomas,' 'college, CEGEP or other non-university certificates or diplomas' and university certificates, diplomas and degrees.14 'Apprenticeship or trades certificate or diploma' includes Registered Apprenticeship certificates (including Certificate of Qualification, Journeyperson's designation) and other trades certificates or diplomas such as pre-employment or vocational certificates and diplomas from brief trade programs completed at community colleges, institutes of technology, vocational centres, and similar institutions.15 Comparisons with other data sources suggest that the category 'University certificate or diploma below the bachelor's level' was over-reported in the NHS. This category likely includes some responses that are actually college certificates or diplomas, bachelor's degrees or other types of education (e.g., university transfer programs, bachelor's programs completed in other countries, incomplete bachelor's programs, non-university professional designations). We recommend users interpret the results for the 'University certificate or diploma below the bachelor's level' category with caution.16 'University certificate, diploma or degree above bachelor level' includes the categories 'University certificate or diploma above bachelor level,' 'Degree in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or optometry,' 'Master's degree' and 'Earned doctorate.'17 Earnings or employment income - Refers to total income received by persons aged 15 years and over during calendar year 2010 as wages and salaries, net income from a non-farm unincorporated business and/or professional practice, and/or net farm self-employment income.Wages and salaries - Refers to gross wages and salaries before deductions for such items as income tax, pensions and Employment Insurance. Included in this source are military pay and allowances, tips, commissions and cash bonuses, benefits from wage-loss replacement plans or income-maintenance insurance plans, supplementary unemployment benefits from an employer or union as well as all types of casual earnings during calendar year 2010. Other employment income such as taxable benefits, research grants and royalties are included.Net non-farm income from unincorporated business and/or professional practice - Refers to net income (gross receipts minus expenses of operation such as wages, rents and depreciation) received during calendar year 2010 from the respondent's non-farm unincorporated business or professional practice. In the case of partnerships, only the respondent's share was reported. Also included is net income from persons babysitting in their own homes, persons providing room and board to non-relatives, self-employed fishers, hunters and trappers, operators of direct distributorships such as those selling and delivering cosmetics, as well as freelance activities of artists, writers, music teachers, hairdressers, dressmakers, etc.Net farm income - Refers to net income (gross receipts from farm sales minus depreciation and cost of operation) received during calendar year 2010 from the operation of a farm, either on the respondent's own account or in partnership. In the case of partnerships, only the respondent's share of income was reported. Included with gross receipts are cash advances received in 2010, dividends from cooperatives, rebates and farm-support payments to farmers from federal, provincial and regional agricultural programs (for example, milk subsidies and marketing board payments) and gross insurance proceeds such as payments from the AgriInvest and AgriStability programs. The value of income 'in kind,' such as agricultural products produced and consumed on the farm, is excluded.Median income of individuals - The median income of a specified group of income recipients is that amount which divides their income size distribution, ranked by size of income, into two halves, i.e., the incomes of the first half of individuals are below the median, while those of the second half are above the median. Median income is calculated from the unrounded number of individuals (e.g., males aged 45 to 54) with income in that group.Average income of individuals - Average income of individuals refers to the weighted mean total income of individuals aged 15 years and over who reported income for 2010. Average income is calculated from unrounded data by dividing the aggregate income of a specified group of individuals (e.g., males aged 45 to 54) by the number of individuals with income in that group. The above concept and procedures also apply in the calculation of these statistics for earnings.18 For population with employment income.19 For population with employment income.20 For population with wages and salaries.21 For population with wages and salaries.22 Worked 49 to 52 weeks mostly full time (30 hours or more per week).23 Includes persons who never worked, persons who worked prior to 2010 only, persons who worked in 2011 only and persons who worked mostly part time (less than 30 hours per week) or in 48 weeks or less in 2010.
