Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: This week I've seen a report—well, listen up, you might learn something—on Radio New Zealand identifying that, and I quote, "Trade training is booming with thousands more people signing up for apprenticeships". The report cited the Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation, which is now part of Te Pūkenga, saying that by the end of March it had 21,600 apprentices—a 77 percent increase since the same time in 2020. For electrical apprentices, the report cites the Master Electricians saying that, from a base of about 4,450 in January 2019, "We've rounded off 2022 with 5810 so we've had a massive increase of about 1300 apprentices in the industry, which … is quite significant [for us]."
