Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many apprenticeship places are available in (a) Coventry South constituency, (b) Coventry and (c) the West Midlands.

We do not hold the number of all apprenticeship vacancies, but some vacancies are advertised on the ‘Find an apprenticeship’ service website: https://www.findapprenticeship.service.gov.uk/apprenticeshipsearch.

The table below provides the number of apprenticeship vacancies on this website in February 2018. As not all vacancies are advertised through this system, they may not be indicative of all the places available.

Notes:

1) Figures are from ‘Find an apprenticeship’ service and may not be indicative of the true level of vacancies available.

2) Figures have been rounded to the nearest 10.

We published the number of apprenticeship starts (attached) for each academic year with these breakdowns in the ‘FE data library: further education and skills’:
