Treasury: Apprentices
(asked on 7th November 2016) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many apprenticeships have been created in his Department in each region in each of the last five years; and how many of those apprentices subsequently secured a job within the civil service.
The number of apprenticeships to have started in each of the last five years can be found in the following table:
Table 1: Number of apprenticeships started
Start year | London | Norwich |
2012/13 | Fewer than 5 | Fewer than 5 |
2013/14 | 12 | Fewer than 5 |
2014/15 | 21 | Fewer than 5 |
2015/16 | 21 | Fewer than 5 |
2016/17 | 7 | Fewer than 5 |
The number of apprentices made permanent in each of the last five years can be found in the following table:
Table 2: Number of apprentices made permanent
Start year | London | Norwich |
2012/13 | Fewer than 5 | Fewer than 5 |
2013/14 | 8 | Fewer than 5 |
2014/15 | 5 | Fewer than 5 |
2015/16 | Fewer than 5 | Fewer than 5 |
Tables 1 and 2 are not directly comparable. Apprentices can take around 18 months to complete their training and have the option to go on to pursue further higher level apprenticeship qualifications.
Of the apprentices starting in the period since April 2015, 52% are still currently apprentices, 26% have been provided permanent roles within HMT and 22% have left the organisation. Of those leaving the organisation, some of these will not have completed their apprenticeship and some of these will have gone on to other roles within the Civil Service. However, we do not hold full information on how many are currently permanent employees within the civil service.
