Stephen Timms – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stephen Timms on 2016-07-11.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of how many degree apprenticeship places will be taken up by 2020.

Robert Halfon

Degree Apprenticeships are designed by groups of employers working with higher education institutions and will be driven by employer demand.

We therefore do not use a top-down estimate of how many Degree Apprenticeships will be taken up by 2020, as part of our overall commitment to 3 million starts.

Degree Apprenticeships provide a valuable route for people to obtain a degree-level qualification alongside training for a career, with employment from day one.
