Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what discussions he has had with apprenticeship providers to ensure that people on apprenticeship schemes receive a full-time job afterwards.

Apprenticeships are paid jobs with high quality training. We are committed to 3 million apprenticeship starts during the next 5 years and are working with a range of organisations, including employers and training providers, to secure more apprenticeship opportunities across all sectors and for all ages.

The Government’s 2014 survey of apprentices showed that around 90% of apprentices are employed on completion of training (including 2% who were self-employed). 71% are with the same employer.
