To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, with reference to figure 31 of the Apprenticeship Pay Survey 2014, published in December 2014, what proportion of apprentices aged 25 or older were working for their employer before starting their apprenticeship in each academic year since 2009-10.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, with reference to figure 31 of the Apprenticeship Pay Survey 2014, published in December 2014, what proportion of apprentices aged 25 or older were working for their employer before starting their apprenticeship in each academic year since 2009-10.
The 2014 Apprenticeship Pay Survey is not directly comparable to earlier Apprenticeship Pay Surveys (in 2005, 2007, 2011 and 2012) due to substantial changes in both coverage and questionnaire design.
However, the 2014 Apprenticeship Evaluation: Learner Survey[1] shows that, of those apprentices aged 25+ who completed or were undertaking a Level 2 or Level 3 apprenticeship between August 2012 and March 2013, 91% worked for their employer before starting their apprenticeship. The proportion is unchanged compared with the previous year[2].

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what proportion of payments by the Skills Funding Agency under the Apprenticeship Grant for Employers scheme were made within 30 days in each of the last twelve months.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what proportion of payments by the Skills Funding Agency under the Apprenticeship Grant for Employers scheme were made within 30 days in each of the last twelve months.
The Skills Funding Agency outlined in their previous response (29 January 2015) that from the day the apprentice reaches 13 weeks of their apprenticeship (the census day for eligibility to AGE), payment can take between 5 weeks and 9 weeks to reach the training provider, dependent on where the 13 week point falls in relation to the next monthly data return to the Skills Funding Agency.
Once the Skills Funding Agency receives data from the provider to confirm eligibility for AGE, payment to the provider is made within 30 days and the Skills Funding Agency has always met this timeline.
Providers are contractually bound to pay the employer their AGE payment within 30 days of receipt of the funds from the Skills Funding Agency.
