Last week I confirmed that the 3,067 construction trade apprentices currently standing redundant will be able to progress their training towards qualification through a number of special measures this year, providing a capacity for in excess of 3,600 redundant apprentices.
As it is not possible to predict how many of the total redundant apprentices will take up these places it is not possible to accurately predict how many apprentices will not progress to a final apprenticeship qualification.
