In line with standard departmental practice in statistics, we do not publish details of numbers less than 5 as this would breach our data protection obligations. Therefore all records of less than 5 have been annotated with an asterisk (*).
We cannot obtain information on the number of apprenticeships who subsequently attained jobs within the civil service as we have not previously tracked this information. Our Fast Track apprentices are recruited on a permanent basis.
