.. not available for a specific reference period ... not applicable 0 true zero or a value rounded to zero 1. Figures for "Males" and "Females" may not add to totals for "Both sexes" because of rounding to the nearest 3. 2. Changes to the Emploi-Québec reporting decreased the number of registered apprentices in 2008, especially in the "Industrial electrician" and "Heavy equipment and crane operators" trades. 3. Consists of miscellaneous trades and occupations not classified elsewhere. Notes: In 2008, the Registered Apprenticeship Information System (RAIS) underwent a major survey redesign. Beginning with the 2008 data, the RAIS used the National Occupation Classification (NOC) to create a special grouping of 22 major trade groups (as shown in this table). All RAIS historical data have been revised to reflect these 22 groups. 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apprentices includes those still registered from the previous year (apprentices who have not yet completed and have not withdrawn from training) plus apprentices newly registered during the current year.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 subtotals are independently rounded, the total values 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%. For a brief description of this indicator, including the methodology, please see the Handbook for the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program.
