Review of Action Plan for Apprenticeship 2021-2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Dr. Mary-Liz Trant:

There is a piece of work under way on that completion rate, which I mentioned earlier. The piece we have not done yet but will need to do is looking at people who do not continue and the reasons why. We did that survey late last year and are completing it now. We are very conscious that it went to current apprentices in the system. We were not reaching those who had left for whatever reason. That is going to be a really important follow-up. We do not have anything on it yet but it is something we are very committed to doing. It is a very small non-completion figure relative to all other education and training, but nevertheless, it would be a really important bit of feedback on the system as well.
