Government Departments: Apprentices
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of trends in the uptake of apprentices in the civil service in the last 12 months.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The uptake of apprenticeships within the Civil Service (in England) fell under the previous administration from 7,007 starts in 2022/23 to 6,508 starts in 2023/24.
This Government is committed to apprenticeships as a means of removing barriers to opportunities and building the skills needed for the future workforce.
