October 1, 2021

The Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency (the Agency or NSAA) Statistics Report is published annually and provides key system performance data for the fiscal period and a comparison to previous years.

The impact of COVID-19 on the apprenticeship system has been significant. For the first time since the creation of the Agency, the number of apprentices in the system has decreased; since 2019-2020 the decrease is 2.7%. However as the labour force in Nova Scotia shrunk by over 6% during 2020-2021, the apprenticeship system performed better than the economy in general.

The Construction (-0.74%) and Motive Power Sectors (+0.34%) experienced negligible changes in the number of apprentices. The Industrial/Manufacturing Sector experienced a decline of 10.1% led by a reduction of Power Engineers (-58%) in the system.
