#Apprenticeship and levy statistics: August 2019

Statistics covering apprenticeship starts, apprenticeship service registrations and commitments.

Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said:

“It’s amazing to see over 70% of people in June 2019 started their apprenticeship journey on one of our new higher-quality apprenticeships – the highest figure since we introduced our reforms. It is also great news that the number of people starting an apprenticeship in 2018/19 so far has increased by 5.8% compared to this time last year.

“Thanks to our reforms, apprenticeships are now longer, higher-quality, with more off-the-job training and have a proper assessment at the end. They are giving people of all ages and backgrounds the chance to gain the skills to get ahead in life. There are now over 450 of our new high-quality apprenticeships available at all levels in everything from chef, solicitor, aerospace engineer and marine pilot.”
