1. Consists of miscellaneous trades and occupations not classified elsewhere. Many of the new apprenticeship trades and occupations that have been introduced since the 1990s have been added to this group.
Notes: 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apprentices includes those still registered from the previous year (apprentices who have not yet completed and have not withdrawn from training) plus apprentices newly registered during the current year.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, a random rounding process is applied to the data. Since the total and subtotals are independently rounded, the total value may not match the sum of the individual values. Similarly, percentage distributions, which are calculated on rounded data, may not necessarily add up to 100%.
