Details

This release presents statistics on apprenticeship starts and achievements by their employer enterprise characteristics.

Data from the Individualised Learner Record (ILR), Apprenticeship Service and Office for National Statistics Inter-departmental Business Register (IDBR) have been matched.

This allows information about apprentices to be linked to information about their employers, covering:

  • learner characteristics, including age, gender, learners with learning difficulties or disabilities, ethnicity and whether they live in a relatively deprived area (based on the Index of Multiple Deprivation)
  • apprenticeship information, including level, standard or framework, subject studied, geography of workplace and whether they were supported by levy funds from an Apprenticeship Service Account (ASA)
  • employer enterprise characteristics, including industry sector, size band and legal status
