Department for Transport (DfT) has currently achieved 1.3% of the total staff employed within the department for 2020/21. Given this target is a percentage of the total workforce, the percentage changes in line with workforce fluctuations over time therefore making it challenging to predict when a department will meet it. The data for 2018/19 can be found <a href=\"https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.gov.uk_government_publications_civil-2Dservice-2Dapprenticeship-2Ddata-2D2018-2Dto-2D2019&amp;d=DwMFaQ&amp;c=troKkvwivNn_CddsvWCHHPiPoFoTgTGIbXJULvYU158&amp;r=JtgUEfFFpp_fia79x1lvcbuMW3hkWpSiV9N3TKlIv9A&amp;m=Usjg8zC7ZIzFit3NK2T00_XzQK-_qHBi2cQZx_WYcPk&amp;s=bj__HV6sMGxwd9frnCCuL68ATckJxqeGvSIs1jD6yAY&amp;e=\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.

Due to the diverse nature of our work, the central department (DfTc) and our executive agencies (DfT Group) have developed localised strategies to allow us to continue towards the Government target. In September 2020 DfTc additionally transitioned to a cohort-based model of recruitment for apprenticeships; further strengthening our ambition for apprenticeship recruitment, and providing economies of scale to improve quality of provision and overall employee experience for the apprenticeship community.<\/p><p>Departments are committed to increasing the number of apprentices across the Civil Service and continue to work towards the 2.3% target. The impact of the current pandemic has slowed recruitment due to priority work and logistics. With the current strategy and targets coming to an end in April 2021, the Civil Service is already focusing on how to continue to support the apprenticeship agenda and drive forward apprenticeship recruitment, pulling on the Plan for Jobs initiative and considering the current economic situation.<\/p>"}
