Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether their commitment to making better apprenticeship data available will involve publishing the retention rate of apprentices as employees by company and by occupational sector.

There are no plans to publish Retention Rate data for Apprenticeships by company name or occupational sector.

The Apprenticeship Evaluation: Learners research report provides high level information on Apprenticeship completers who remain in employment. I attach a copy of the report. A copy of the report is also available at:

In addition, information on learning outcomes is published on the Further education (FE) choices website to help better inform learner choices, and is available at:
