Treasury written question – answered at on 8 March 2012.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer
(1) how many apprentices were employed by each public body for which his Department is responsible between (a) April 2010 and March 2011 and (b) April and December 2011; and how many apprenticeships he expects each public body to sponsor between (i) January and March 2012 and (ii) April 2012 and March 2013;
(2) how much funding from the public purse has been allocated to sponsor apprenticeships in each of the public bodies for which his Department is responsible between (a) April 2010 and March 2011, (b) April 2011 and March 2012 and (c) April 2012 and March 2013.
During the periods specified there were no sponsored apprenticeships in HM Treasury or the public bodies for which it is responsible. In partnership with Civil Service Learning, who provide expert advice and guidance to Departments on civil service apprenticeships, HM Treasury is considering scope for apprenticeship sponsorship during the coming year.
In addition, HM Treasury participates in two internship schemes for students from underrepresented groups:
The Civil Service Whitehall Internship Scheme, an unpaid two-week scheme for Year 12 students. HM Treasury hosted two places in 2011-12 and will host two places again in 2012-13; and
A Cabinet Office paid internship programme for graduates and undergraduates. HM Treasury sponsored five places in 2010-11, and three in 2011-12, and we are planning to sponsor two places in 2012-13.
