Written Answers
Department for Business and Trade: Apprentices
Asked by: Jack Rankin (Conservative - Windsor)
Thursday 19th March 2026

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many apprentices his Department recruited in (a) 2025, (b) 2022, (c) 2023 and (d) 2024.

Answered by Kate Dearden - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)

On 1st July 2023 due to a Machinery of Government Change, the Department of International Trade (DIT) became the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), alongside parts of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). We therefore only hold information from DBT from 1st July 2023.

Information included for 2022 only captures former DIT apprenticeship starts. Information for 2023 includes starts from January to June for former DIT. Data provided is sourced from internal-to-DBT management information trackers.

Response relates to apprentices recruited/onboarded onto Apprenticeship Programmes. Years here are taken to mean calendar years, not financial years.
