The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many apprenticeships and training placements in technology sectors were created in the last financial year.

Answered by Andrew Western

Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England only.

The government publishes statistics on apprenticeship starts by sector subject area: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/permalink/54003efc-6987-4a0f-1265-08dec5bb9009.
