NOTICE RE: ITA SURVEYS

Customer Satisfaction and Stakeholder Engagement
The ITA will be conducting its annual Customer Satisfaction and Stakeholder Engagement telephone surveys during February and March. This research is being done on our behalf by Synovate. Your opinions are important to us, and will help us ensure that our customer services industry training programs meet your ongoing needs. If contacted, please take the time to complete all the survey questions. All individual responses are confidential.

Construction Sector Apprenticeship Completion Survey:
In addition, we are participating in a Federally-funded study of factors that contribute to the successful completion of construction apprenticeship programs.  Current apprentices, recently-certified journeypersons, employers, and non-completers in electrical, carpentry, and some finishing trades will be contacted and asked to complete a 10-minute telephone or on-line questionnaire.  Surveys will be conducted January through March of this year.

On behalf of the BC Labour Market Information Committee, the research firm, R.A. Malatest will randomly select participants from all regions of BC. All individual responses will be confidential.

If you are contacted to participate, please take a few minutes to answer the survey questions.  Participants will have their names entered into a $250 cash prize draw. 

Your answers to survey questions will help the Committee and the ITA to identify and develop strategies to minimize difficulties faced by apprentices and identify factors that contribute to the successful completion of apprenticeship programs.
