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) Aldershot constituency, (ii) Hampshire 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 Aldershot constituency, Hampshire 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. However, not all choose to use the service. Employers may choose to recruit apprentices through their own channels, for example via their own websites, which the department does not monitor. The figures below therefore do not represent the total number of degree level apprenticeship vacancies advertised.

To note

• Numbers are rounded to nearest 10.
• Geography is based on the postcode associated with the vacancy location.
• The data source is the Apprenticeship Service (AS).
• In 2023 the Recruit an Apprentice (RAA) service was changed to ensure that every vacancy was led by an employer to improve the service to users by giving confidence a real job existed. Previously colleges and training providers often posted vacancies before an employer had been identified leading to delays in some apprentices starting their training or leaving the programme before they started.

The table below provides details of degree level (level 6 and 7) apprenticeships that have been achieved in Aldershot constituency, Hampshire and London in each of the last five years, as published in the apprenticeships statistics publication.

To note

• These figures are rounded to the nearest 10.
• ‘Low’ indicates a value of fewer than 5.
• The source is the Individualised Learner Record.
• Geography is based on the learner home postcode.
