Details

Apprentices are core to our ambition to become a brilliant Civil Service. Not only do they support our commitment to building a broader set of skills in the Civil Service, but they allow us to offer more, varied careers that will help us retain and attract the best talent.

4,459 apprentices started in the Civil Service this year (2018), and we are pleased to be on-track to reach an average of at least 2.3% of staff as new apprentice starts by 31 March 2021.

Background

  • the Civil Service is on-track to reach an average of at least 2.3% of staff as a new apprentice start over the period of 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2021
  • apprentice starts in the Civil Service have been increasing since April 2017, and have more than doubled between April 2017 (635) and March 2018 (1,692)
  • departments who missed the 2.3% target this year have been given an adjusted target, to enable them to meet their 2.3% average by March 2021
  • these statistics cover Civil Service apprenticeships only. Wider public-sector bodies will all publish their own data separately, and the Department for Education will publish an overall analysis of the wider public sector in November
