Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer 5 March 2018 to Question 129461, what recent estimate he has made of the number of apprentices employed by Carillion who are yet to find alternative apprenticeship provision.
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has engaged directly with 1,148 apprentices in England and the official receiver has reported that they have secured new employment, with wages, for 775 apprentices to date and one apprentice has moved into full time education.
The CITB continues to support all affected learners and offer a range of support options. They are currently engaged in further work with the apprentices specifically targeting the remaining cohort of disengaged learners. The active and disengaged figures fluctuate, as people engage and fall out of the process.
The breakdown of apprentices is as follows:
Category | England Apprentices |
In paid employment | 699 |
Pending: Terms and Conditions agreed with new employer | 76 |
Sub Total - official receiver reporting as successfully employed | 775 |
Moved into full time education | 1 |
Successful outcomes as per official receiver | 776 |
Carillion reporting as Active (learner is engaged with matching process and actively seeking future employment) | 225 |
Carillion reporting as disengaged (learner remains currently not engaged in matching process, despite numerous targeted communications) | 147 |
Sub total | 372 |
Total agreed as starting point | 1148 |
