Apprenticeships in England by industry characteristics: 2021 to 2022

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
