The availability of apprenticeships at any level is determined by employers offering opportunities that best meet the skills they need.

We have seen 51,990 intermediate (Level 2) and 50,760 advanced (Level 3) apprenticeship starts so far in the 2017/18 academic year, which account for the majority of apprenticeship opportunities overall.

We are working closely with employers to support them with their apprenticeship programmes and feedback has shown they are positive about the benefits which apprentices can bring to their business.
