Apprentices: Aerospace Industry

Answer

The most recent statistics on apprenticeship starts by industry characteristics cover the 2021/22 academic year and are published on Explore Education Statistics at: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/apprenticeships-in-england-by-industry-characteristics. Data for the 2022/23 academic year will be published in June 2025.

These statistics report on new apprenticeship starts in a given academic year and will not include those that are part-way through their apprenticeship. Therefore, they do not show a full count of apprentices in the workforce at that time.

Gender is not collected within the Individualised Learner Record, so this data is based on sex.

Data on apprenticeship starts below level 6 and at level 6+, by sex, in the aerospace industry is provided below.

Apprenticeship starts by level and sex in the aerospace industry:

Level	Sex	Starts
Below level 6	Total	1370
Level 6+	Total	550
Below level 6	Male	960
Level 6+	Male	400
Below level 6	Female	410
Level 6+	Female	160
