The Cabinet Office currently employs 90 apprentices who are actively completing an apprenticeship, this equates to 1.31% of our workforce.

As set out in the Civil Service apprenticeship strategy, the Civil Service has pledged to achieve 30,000 apprenticeship starts in England by 2020, annually delivering 2.3% of our workforce in England as apprenticeship starts.

Work is underway to produce detailed plans, at business unit level, to identify how they will meet their target in 2019/20
