<p>The apprenticeships reform programme benefits realisation strategy, published in
March 2017, sets out a broad range of success measures for the programme. A core benefit
of the apprenticeships reform programme is to raise average earnings for apprentices,
measured over a period of 5 years.</p><p>For learners that achieved in academic year
2010/11, the median annualised earnings 5 years after training were greater at higher
levels:</p><ul><li>£26,700 for higher (level 4) apprenticeships 5 years after training.</li><li>£21,000
for advanced (level 3) apprenticeships.</li><li>£17,900 for intermediate (level 2)
apprenticeships.</li></ul><p>This information was released in October 2018 and can
be found in the ‘Further Education: Outcome based success measures: academic years
2010/11 to 2015/16’, available here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/748305/FE_learners__outcome_based_success_measures.pdf"
target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/748305/FE_learners__outcome_based_success_measures.pdf</a>.</p><p>Data
published in the ‘Estimation of the labour market returns to qualifications gained
in English Further Education’ shows that on average, achievers of intermediate apprenticeships
earn 11% more and achievers of advanced apprenticeships earn 16% more, 3-5 years after
completing their apprenticeship, than those who started an apprenticeship at that
level but did not complete. This information was published in December 2014 and can
be found here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/383646/Estimation_of_the_labour_market_returns_to_qualifications_gained_in_English_Further_Education_-_Final_-_November_2014.pdf"

the past few years we have introduced major reforms to apprenticeships and, as the
system is still adapting, it is too early to know the full productivity and earnings
benefits that these changes will bring.</p>
