Apprentices: Degrees
(asked on 20th April 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many Degree Apprenticeships were (a) advertised and (b) completed in (i) Enfield North constituency, (ii) the London Borough of Enfield and (iii) London in each of the last five years.
The table below provides details of degree-level apprenticeship (Level 6 and 7) vacancies in Enfield North, the London Borough of Enfield, and London that were advertised on the Find an Apprenticeship (FAA) service on GOV.UK in each of the last five years.
The department encourages employers to advertise on FAA to maximise engagement with their vacancies and to ensure that they are accessible to all potential apprentices, but not all choose to use the service. Employers may choose to recruit apprentices through their own channels, such as their own websites, which we do not monitor. The figures below therefore do not represent the total number of degree-level apprenticeship vacancies advertised.
Academic Year | Number of Level 6 and 7 Apprenticeship Vacancies Advertised on the FAA Website | ||
Enfield North | Enfield | London | |
2017/18 | 0 | 0 | 580 |
2018/19 | low | low | 1240 |
2019/20 | low | low | 990 |
2020/21 | low | 10 | 1130 |
2021/22 | 10 | 10 | 3060 |
The table below provides details of degree-level apprenticeships that have been achieved in each of the last five years.
