As at 29th February, 1976, a total of 1,494 apprentices were notified to AnCO as being unemployed in apprenticeships. This figure can be broken down as follows:
|
1st year |
39 |
|
2nd year |
308 |
|
3rd year |
398 |
|
4th year |
348 |
|
5th year |

|
1,494 |
Surveys carried out by AnCO, however, indicate that of the 1,494 many had got other jobs and only about 26 per cent, 390, were in fact, out of work.
