How many private sector apprenticeship learning programmes have there been for each of the last ten financial years, by local authority of residence?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure | Answered on 15/02/2017

Information on apprenticeship learning programmes is collected from work-based learning providers through the Lifelong Learning Wales Record. Since 2008/09 this has included the status of the apprenticeship employer as a public, private or third sector (from 2014/15 onwards only) organisation.
 
Please note:

  • The employer status is as recorded by the work-based learning provider, and we are aware that there are some inaccuracies within this information.
  • Noting these quality issues around the data, the following table provides the number of apprenticeship programmes identified as with private sector organisations by academic year from 2008/09 to 2015/16 (provisional) by local authority of residence of the learner.
  • This is a count of all active apprenticeship learning programmes, and therefore the same programme can be present in a number of academic years.
