	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/01/2022 answer text <p>Apprenticeships at levels 6 and 7, including degree apprenticeships, are an important and growing part of our education and skills system and we are encouraged by the take-up so far. We have seen year on year growth since their inception, and in the last academic year there were 58,760 starts on apprenticeships at levels 6 and 7, that is 74.4% growth in 2020/21 compared to 2018/19.</p><p>Our apprenticeship reforms have put employers firmly in the driving seat and a market led approach ensures that apprenticeships are responsive to business needs both in terms of the content of the apprenticeship and availability. Employers take the decisions about who they recruit as an apprentice, and which type and level of apprenticeship they offer.</p><p>Employers, working in partnership with providers, have already developed over 150 apprenticeship standards available at levels 6 and 7, of which over 100 include a degree. As these are jobs with training, they directly address skills shortages for employers. They are available in a wide range of sectors such as aerospace, automotive, digital, engineering, financial, health, leadership, legal, manufacturing, nuclear and protective services.</p><p>Higher and degree apprenticeships support productivity, social mobility and widening participation in higher education and employment. So, whilst we have seen positive growth of degree apprenticeships, we would like to see even more.</p><p>We continue to encourage more employers to consider using these apprenticeships to meet the skills needs of their industries. Education providers, including universities, have a vital role to play in working with employers to offer these apprenticeships wherever there is employer demand.</p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 10/01/2022 13:45:01 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart attachment 1 file name 94475_apprenticeship_starts.xls title 94475_table

We have been working closely with all of our T Level providers to ensure they have the support they need to source placement opportunities.</p><p>T Level providers monitor the completion of the required placement hours, so this specific data is not information we have at this point. However, the vast majority of students have either completed their placement, or they are in progress. We have introduced a number of temporary flexibilities to enable providers to deliver placement opportunities. We continue to monitor the situation to determine what further support is needed to ensure that all students can succeed on their T Level despite the impact of COVID-19.</p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 05/01/2022 15:09:12 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart
