Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many apprenticeships were created in the tourism sector in (1) 2014–15, (2) 2016–17, and (3) 2017–18.

The table below shows the number of apprenticeship starts in the travel and tourism sector subject area for each full academic year since 2014/15.[1],[2]

Notes

1. Volumes are rounded to the nearest 10.

2. The data source is the individualised learner record (ILR). Apprenticeship starts include all funded and unfunded learners reported on the ILR.

3. Numbers are a count of the number of starts at any point during the period. Learners starting more than one apprenticeship will appear more than once.

4. Numbers are counted for the full, final academic year (August – July).
