The Federal Government
withdrew from responsibility for providing in-school training for apprentices
in the early 1990s, reducing the availability of quality statistics. Between
1991 and 1997, it was extremely difficult to access information disaggregated
by sex through the Provincial Government information systems, regardless of requests
I made as Chair of the Provincial Apprenticeship Board Equity Committee. It
became even more difficult when the private sector Industrial Training and
Apprenticeship Commission (ITAC) took over the system, even though they were
responsible
under a legislated mandate to increase the participation of under-represented
groups. After 1999, ITAC included the additional category of unknown when
requesting identification by sex, i.e. Male, Female, Unknown.
It is now impossible to determine progress on equity integration in
apprenticeship. The new Industrial Training Authority took over in 2000. The
new legislation
eliminated any requirement to pursue equity in apprenticeship.
