We do not hold information on whether apprentices come from families who had previously been in receipt of welfare payments.

Latest information on the number of apprenticeships starts collected from the Single Individualised Learner Record by age group is published here:

The department publishes information on outcome based success measures for those completing apprenticeships and further education training and also on further education learners claiming benefits:
