<p>The Department has been sharing data with Skills Development Scotland’s (SDS) since
2012 to support the Scottish Government’s commitments to 16-19 year olds and its Opportunities
for All programme.</p><p>We have continued to work collaboratively with SDS to extend
this data share to meet SDS needs – initially this was to extend to 18-24 year olds
and then to include destination data. This is due to the Scottish Government’s commitment
to ensure that the majority of places on the National Training Programmes, such as
Modern Apprenticeships, are aimed at 16-24 year olds; and to maintaining priority
in university and college places for young people.</p><p />
