answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2016 answer text <p>Apprenticeships are paid jobs. In October 2015 we increased the apprenticeship National Minimum Wage by over 20% to £3.30 per hour for apprentices aged under 19 and those aged 19 and over in the first year of their apprenticeship. Most employers pay more than this. The average gross hourly pay received by apprentices in England is £6.31 an hour for Level 2 and 3 apprentices and £9.69 for higher apprentices.</p><p>Apprenticeships have excellent wage returns for individuals over their working life. These add up to between £48,000 and £74,000 for level 2 apprenticeships and between £77,000 and £117,000 for level 3 apprentices. Those completing an apprenticeship at level 4 or above could earn £150,000 more on average over their lifetime.</p><p>These are the right long-term financial incentives for individuals to support the growth of apprenticeships towards 3 million new starts by 2020.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Nick Boles question first answered 02/03/2016 16:24:22 answering member 3995 label Biography information for Nick Boles
