The majority of public bodies with 250 or more staff employed in England are considered to be in scope of meeting the Department for Education apprenticeship target, and should have a target to employ an average of at least 2.3% of their staff as new apprentice starts over the period of 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2021.
As part of this duty, Calderdale Council is required to publish their Data publication. This gives the total headcount employed in England, and the number of apprentices employed for a specific period. This information is also submitted to the Department for Education.
More information on the statutory guidance for bodies in scope of the Public sector apprenticeship target can be found at Public sector apprenticeship target.
