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 25 major trade groups (as shown in this table). All RAIS historical data have been revised to reflect these 25 groups.
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.
