Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many applications they have received from groups wishing to become apprenticeship trailblazers and how many employers are involved.

Since Trailblazers began, we have received 556 expressions of interest. As a result of this, 202 groups of employers have developed or are in the process developing 441 standards. There are over 1,400 employers directly involved in the Trailblazers.

A list of employers involved in standards that are still in development is available in the attached document and at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/530096/Employers_and_other_Organisations_Involved_in_Trailblazers.pdf
