Civil Service: Apprentices

Asked by Kevin HollinrakeConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 3 February 2026UIN 108689

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many civil service apprentices in 2024 and 2025 were aged between 18 and 24.

Answered by Anna Turley

Civil Service data is not collected for the 18-24 age bracket. However, we can confirm that 3,010 of on-programme apprentices on 31 December 2024 were aged between 16 and 24. The Cabinet Office no longer collates cross-government data on apprenticeships beyond December 2024, so we are unable to provide data for 2025.
