BCITO EmployersBCITO Employers Survey Survey

Topline: December Quarter 2012

TM

Notes:• This quarter is based on a low number of observations and

should be treated with caution

• Totals may not add to 100% due to rounding

• Statistical testing (two tailed t-test, 95% confidence) has been conducted to compare each reporting region to the New Zealand average.– Figures in red indicate where the result for that region is

significantly higher than the New Zealand average. – Figures in blue indicate where the result for that region is

significantly lower than the New Zealand average.

• Scale questions are presented here in the form of average scores for ease of interpretation. Detailed data is available on request.

TA Understanding Suggestions Limited with dealing with apprentices see

advisors occasionally - don't have meetings, more communication.

Resource Suggestions Bring back old trade certificate in some form

of examination type system - too easy to bluff your way through - need a physical test and semi theory to prove you know what you are doing.

Assessment Suggestions My guy was mucked about - new guy pretty

good but previous guys no good, inconsistency in what they are doing and who they are looking after.

Never get round to it. Don't think I have seen one. I don't read any mail apart from bills.
