  1. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10; percentages are rounded to the nearest percent.
  2. Data are based on Individualised Learner Record data linked to the Department for Work and Pensions and HM Revenue and Customs data to observe benefit and employment activity, and include learners who may not have been employed in the same sector in which they achieved their apprenticeship.
  3. Data refer to learners completing training up to the 2014/15 academic year – the most recent year for which outcome measures are available.
  4. To be reported in sustained employment, learners must be in paid employment as recorded in Pay-As-You-Earn records in five out of six months between October and March in the following academic year or have returned a self-assessment form stating that they have received income from self-employment during that financial year.
