Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how many and what proportion of the staff employed by his Department are apprentices.
The number of apprentices in the Department for International Trade (DIT), has been increasing since it was formed in July 2016. DIT currently employs 39 apprentices, which equates to 2.2% of current UK employees. The Secretary of State recently celebrated National Apprenticeship Week, with the Department's apprentices, where they shared their experiences of working in Government.
