Looking at appendix B that outlines the key high-level metrics, what was the total number of registered apprentices in the system at the end of 2021? It was 23,459 at the end of November. I wish to find out what the end-of-year figure is for that.
Why is the target 23,534 for 2022 if this is already the level it is at? Are we not aiming for an increase in the number of apprenticeships until 2023? Will the Minister of State clarify this?
