Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average age is of an apprentice in the maritime industry sector.
Data on apprenticeship starts, completions, training providers and age of apprentices is not available for the maritime industry sector specifically.
Due to the methodology behind these experimental statistics, data has not been published below the broad industry sector level.
The most recent statistics on apprenticeships starts by broad industry sector cover the academic years 2012/13 to 2016/17 and are published at the following link:
