Training Opportunities: Exploring what happens two months later

Ethnicity

The ethnic group of the learner was the seventh largest predictor in the model of placement outcome. Employment is the most likely outcome for European and Pasifika learners, followed by an other outcome (Pasifika are as likely to go into further training as to gain an other outcome).

Māori learners are most likely to be unemployed on leaving over all other categories of outcomes. Learners whose ethnic group is ‘Other’ have the highest odds of going on to further training; have the highest odds of returning to Training Opportunities over an other outcome; and are the only group where the odds ratio of an other outcome is lower than all possible alternative categories.

Note: points above 1 indicate more likely to occur than an other outcome, while points below 1 indicate the outcome is less likely to occur than an other outcome.
