170 DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND EMPLOYMENT Chapter 4 Northern Territory Regional Profi les - Katherine Region 7.3. Supply: Apprenticeships and Traineeships Apprenticeships/traineeships offer opportunities for anyone of working age to train, study and earn an income in a wide range of occupations and trades. They are available in more than 500 occupations and provide nationally recognised training, developed by industry for industry. Apprenticeship/traineeship statistics for the Katherine region are presented in Chart 4.62. The in training numbers are for 31 December each year and the commencements are total numbers for each calendar year, 2002 - 2007.

There were 238 apprentice/trainee commencements in the region in 2007, an increase of 17% from 204 in 2002. The region accounts for 9% of total commencements in the NT for 2007, the same proportion as five years ago. In 2007, 270 apprentices/trainees were in training in the region. Of these: 16% were in automotive 14% were in building and construction 14% were in business and clerical 14% were in utilities. Commencements have increased by 17% in the region from 2002 to 2007. However, the overall number of students in training has increased at a much faster rate (61%) over the same period. Some training, apprenticeships particularly, can take a number of years to complete and the large numbers of students in training suggest that the supply of skills will increase in the coming years.

Data is an approximation only (b) Jobseekers are derived from Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other) recipients by excluding all people who did not receive a payment due to their own and/or their partner’s income, or where applicable, parental income, and all those known not to be required to search for work (c) The increase in December 2007 is due to CDEP eligibility changes and the lifting of Remote Area Exemptions (RAE). There was a large increase in jobseekers in the NT and its regions in December 2007. This was due to CDEP eligibility changes and the lifting of Remote Area Exemptions (RAE). Before the impact of changes in CDEP eligibility, and the lifting of RAEs, unemployed jobseekers had started to trend down in the region compared to the NT. Further information on Indigenous employment and CDEP can be found in Chapter 5 Indigenous Employment Profile. Table 4.64 shows characteristics of the jobseeker population. 13 359 11 359 9 359 7 359 5 359 171 DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND EMPLOYMENT
