Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the number of cyber security industry apprentices.

Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England only.

Apprenticeship starts for individual standards are published in the apprenticeships statistics publication.

Starts on apprenticeships that are cyber-related are shown here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/permalink/97cccb00-3175-41c6-f1bf-08dd5cc661f7.

Employers in the cyber security industry can also benefit from additional apprenticeship standards, including others in the digital sector.
