Final Sample Size: Number of Clusters (Unit of Randomization) Unit of randomisation was at the employer level. We randomised a total of 1128 unique employers. However, the trial had to stop in March 2020 due to COVID-19 lockdowns. Therefore we were only able to use 4 out of 6 batches of samples and the final sample included 821 employers.
Was attrition correlated with treatment status? No
Final Sample Size: Total Number of Observations 1788 apprentices and 821 employers. We planned 6 rolling monthly enrolment but the trial had to stop in March 2020 due to COVID-19 lockdowns. So only batch 1-4 were used for analyses.

There were 896 apprentices in the control group and 892 apprentices in the treatment group (only using batches 1-4). There were 410 emploers in the control group and 411 employers in the treatment group (also only using batches 1-4). Trial had to stop due to COVID-19 lockdowns
