Apprentices: Degrees
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many degree apprenticeships were (a) advertised and (b) completed in (i) High Peak constituency, (ii) Derbyshire and (iii) Greater Manchester in each of the last five years.
Answered by Janet Daby
The table below provides details of degree level apprenticeship (Level 6 and 7) vacancies in High Peak constituency, Derbyshire and Greater Manchester that were advertised on the Find an Apprenticeship (FAA) service on GOV.UK in each of the last five years.
The department encourages employers to advertise on FAA to maximise engagement with their vacancies and to ensure that they are accessible to all potential apprentices, but not all choose to use the service. Employers may choose to recruit apprentices through their own channels, for example via their own websites, which the department does not monitor. The figures below therefore do not represent the total number of degree level apprenticeship vacancies advertised.
Academic Year | High Peak | Derbyshire | Greater Manchester |
2018/19 | Low | 50 | 170 |
2019/20 | 0 | 80 | 130 |
2020/21 | Low | 90 | 220 |
2021/22 | Low | 370 | 400 |
2022/23 | Low | 270 | 430 |
To note:
- Figures rounded to the nearest 10.
- ‘Low’ indicates a value of fewer than 5.
- Vacancies are total number of positions within an advert. Each advert on FAA can have more than one position advertised.
