Background
We are conducting a survey on behalf of GAN Australia. The
Global Apprenticeship Network (GAN)
is a global network of private sector organisations and industry associations who come together to: - Advocate for work-readiness programs - Share best practices - Facilitate multi-stakeholder dialogue - Commit to action around youth employability and skills development The
GAN Australia
is a GAN National Network (GNN), whose purpose is to embed the GAN concept in a national context. Our essential role is to raise awareness on apprenticeship programs and encourage companies to offer more opportunities to youth as well as to root the GAN concepts within the national context – catering to the distinct economic, cultural and institutional needs present at the national and local level. For further information, visit

This survey will ask you some questions about how you use information technologies and your digital literacy, how easy you find training and how much it helps you with or hinders you in everyday activities while accessing the Internet. It does not matter if you use internet a lot or not – we would just like to know more about what you do and think. All information you provide is confidential and will not be used to identify you personally. The data is processed anonymously. Thanks very much for your participation. If you have any questions about this survey or the research it is part of, please contact
