The government is committed to delivering 3 million apprenticeship starts by 2020. Apprenticeship reforms continue to improve the quality of apprenticeships for all, providing the skills that employers need. Our reforms include implementation of the Apprenticeship Levy and new funding system to encourage employers to offer more high quality apprenticeships opportunities to people of all ages.

There were 509,400 apprenticeship starts in the 2015/16 academic year of which 285,300 were by people under 25. Our ‘Get In Go Far’ campaign aims to encourage more young people to apply and more employers to offer opportunities.
