The Finance apprenticeship approach was adopted by the Department's Finance profession in February 2019. Apprenticeships are the preferred route to qualification however alternative routes to achieve the professional finance qualification include direct study with local colleges, and Government Finance Function provided programmes like CIMA Accelerated (level 7 only).<\/p>
Since May 2022, the Department has onboarded 51 personnel onto the Level 4 Finance Apprenticeship.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department has recently concluded an external recruitment campaign for Level 4 Finance apprentices across MOD; 17 posts have been offered, with 9 people in post and the remainder undergoing vetting or working their notice periods. These apprentices will commence their studies from January 2024, and are in addition to the 51 above. DE&S, one of the Department's Enabling Organisations, has been recruiting apprentices since 2015 and since that date has externally recruited 189 personnel onto Finance Apprenticeships; the DE&S programme is a joint Level 3 and Level 4 programme.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1466", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Wiltshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Dr Andrew Murrison"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-11-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-11-28T12:34:58.06Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-11-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Ministry of Defence: Apprentices"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 12 of his Department's Annual Report and Accounts 2022-23, how many Level 4 Apprentices his Department has recruited since the Finance Profession, Skills and Talent Management Strategy was revised in May 2022.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/483", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Maria Eagle"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Garston and Halewood"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Maria Eagle"} ], "uin" : "2499"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1671304", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1671304/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Cash and cards can be used on all food, drink and souvenir transactions in catering and souvenir outlets with the exception of two venues in locations away from the main estate and all vending machines, where only card is permitted. The reason for a cashless policy at the two outbuildings is due to security constraints on the transportation of monies between the outbuildings and the main Palace.
