The research published today was commissioned by the Low Pay Commission and carried out by researchers from Sheffield Hallam University. It sought to uncover the experiences of those paid the Apprentice Rate of the minimum wage. The researchers interviewed current and former apprentices about their initial choices, their experiences on the apprenticeship – including pay – and their post-apprenticeship pathways and plans.

This research is published alongside a blog, where the researchers summarise their findings.
