A random sample of businesses was contacted for the study, which was commissioned by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). Over 5,700 companies with apprenticeship schemes and over 4,000 companies without apprenticeship schemes responded to the online survey. Besides the three- and four-year Federal VET Diploma (EFZ) courses for the 2016/17 training year, the survey also included the two-year Federal VET Certificate (EBA) courses for the first time.
The report, together with detailed assessments of the most common apprenticeship occupations, is available from this website.
