Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: Yes. This is another piece of good news. We're seeing people taking the opportunity to become apprentices, no matter what their age, gender, and ethnicity. Apprenticeships are traditionally seen as something you do out of school, but with free trades training, we're seeing a big jump, nearly 20 percent, in workers aged from 25 to 39—they're taking up the opportunity for a career change—and more than 1,500 additional apprentices are over the age of 40. The number of Māori and Pacific apprentices grew by nearly 30 percent last year, which of course will benefit the economic development of their communities for years to come. The percentage of women in apprenticeships has grown nearly twice as much as the number of males in apprenticeships has grown. That, again, is good news.
