Home Office: Apprentices
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many apprentices her Department recruited in (a) 2025, (b) 2022, (c) 2023 and (d) 2024.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The number of apprentices that enrolled onto apprenticeship programmes within the department in each calendar year is as follows:
Year Apprentice Enrolments
2022 475
2023 890
2024 944
2025 233
Apprenticeship enrolments have reduced due to workforce controls, a prolonged pause of the Public Sector Operational Delivery Officer apprenticeship (which previously accounted for 70–80% of starts), and reform changes to available standards. Data includes all 39 apprenticeship standards used across the Home Office.
