Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what data the Department holds on the employment outcomes of people following completion of an apprenticeship, including the proportion who are (a) in sustained employment, (b) unemployed, (c) receiving benefits and (d) undertaking further education or training at (i) six and (ii) 12 months after completion.

The percentage of apprentices moving into sustained employment, sustained learning or no sustained destination, including those receiving benefits, for at least two terms in the year after they completed their apprenticeship is available in the Further Education Outcomes publication, published by the Department for Education here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/further-education-outcomes/2022-23#section-apprenticeships.

The latest data shows apprenticeships completed in the 2022/23 academic year and is available here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/permalink/dbe24d47-7171-433e-a13f-08df3868fec4.

The Department for Education does not produce the sustained destination rates at six and 12 months after completion.
