Apprentices: Aerospace Industry
(asked on 2nd April 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many (1) graduate, and (2) other, apprentices work in the aerospace industry, broken down by gender.
The most recent statistics on apprenticeship starts by industry characteristics cover the 2021/22 academic year and are published on Explore Education Statistics at: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/apprenticeships-in-england-by-industry-characteristics. Data for the 2022/23 academic year will be published in June 2025.
These statistics report on new apprenticeship starts in a given academic year and will not include those that are part-way through their apprenticeship. Therefore, they do not show a full count of apprentices in the workforce at that time.
Gender is not collected within the Individualised Learner Record, so this data is based on sex.
Data on apprenticeship starts below level 6 and at level 6+, by sex, in the aerospace industry is provided below.
Apprenticeship starts by level and sex in the aerospace industry:
Level | Sex | Starts |
Below level 6 | Total | 1370 |
Level 6+ | Total | 550 |
Below level 6 | Male | 960 |
Level 6+ | Male | 400 |
