Will the Minister explain how she will measure the success of the pledge to create 100,000 new apprenticeships, given her admittance on 14 June 2016 that the Welsh Government is "committing to a minimum target number of apprenticeships over the next five years, but [we are] not going to be drawn into making commitments to numbers that cannot be delivered…" ?
The 100,000 target for apprentices at all ages has been built into our current budget allocations to apprenticeship providers in line with current ministerial priorities.
Statistics related to 'Further Education, Work-Based Learning and Adult Community Learning', which includes information on apprenticeships, are published in line with the principles of the Code of Practice for official statistics.
