Australian School based New Apprenticeship (ASBA) enrolments have been maintained with 220 in 2005 and 218 in 2006.
The change over of Apprentice Centers during the year confused careers coordinators, and the drought has impacted on the ability of employers to take on a young person. However, ASBA enrolments exceeded our expectations. The GMLLEN has facilitated improved supports for ASBAS and schools with Goulburn Ovens TAFE, VECCI, MEGT all employing extra staff to support the initiative. This should further improve take up in 2007. At this point in time the enrolments are around 250, already an increase of 14.68%.
