Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many civil service apprenticeships have been (a) awarded and (b) completed in each year since they were introduced.

Since the Civil Service Apprenticeship Strategy was introduced in 2015, the current number of Civil Service Apprenticeship starts is confirmed at 7,709 (last collected on 31st March 2017). The Civil Service does not yet have data on completed apprenticeships but began recording this information in April 2016.

The Civil Service is on track to achieve its target of 30,000 apprenticeship starts by 2020 as laid out in the Apprenticeship Strategy.
