Department for Science, Innovation and Technology: Apprentices
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, pursuant to the Answer of 25 March 2026 to Question 121184 on Department for Science, Innovation and Technology: Apprentices, how many of the Department's 57 apprentices were recruited in (a) 2023, (b) 2024 and (c) 2025.
Answered by Ian Murray
The department offers apprenticeships to internal staff as part of our learning and development offer. Since the original PQ, our records have updated to reflect an additional apprenticeship completion in 2025. We therefore now have 58 members of DSIT staff that are either currently undertaking an apprenticeship or have completed an apprenticeship between 2023 and 2025. (GOV.UK). This information is obtained from our Apprenticeship Employer Account on GOV.UK.
Year by year breakdown:
Year | Apprenticeships (live and completed) |
2023 | No records due to creation of the department from fBEIS, CO and DCMS |
2024 | 7 |
2025 | 51 |
Total | 58 |
