This statistical data set provides information on the number of apprenticeship vacancies and traineeship opportunities for 2008/09 to 2016/17 year-to-date through a range of reports. These reports aim to cover data up to the end of month prior to reporting. For example, January 2017 would cover data up to 31 December 2016. Partial data for later months has been excluded in order to prevent confusion for the user.

Previous months’ data can be found in the further education (FE) data library for apprenticeship vacancies archive.

Applications stated are for those made online through find an apprentice, and do not include those made offline directly to employers.

‘Recruit an apprentice’, replaced Apprenticeship vacancies (Av) in August with the following changes:

  • recruitment agents will not be able to use the new service - the small number of providers that use recruitment agents will therefore have to manage their own vacancies
  • subcontractors will no longer need lead provider authorisation to post and manage vacancies

As set out in the Proposed changes to further education, skills and apprenticeship statistics document, we have made a number of changes to ensure our official statistics on further education and skills remain relevant, up to date, and fulfil a broad range of user needs.

A review last year of the Apprenticeship Vacancies reports found that the statistics were no longer meeting user needs and have therefore been suspended.
