Culture Media and Sport written question – answered at on 16 January 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport how much funding his Department allocated to sponsor apprenticeships in his Department in (a) 2010-11 and (b) 2011-12; and how much such funding he plans to allocate in 2012-13.
The Department had five apprentices in the period April 2010 to March 2011 and these were funded at a cost of £22,680. In 2011-12, to date, the Department does not have any apprenticeships and has no specific funding set aside to support the scheme. We pledged to accept up to five apprenticeships/work placements during 2011-12 and have taken on three work placements, but do not plan to offer any more for the remainder of the year. Similarly, for the period 2012-13 there is no specific funding set aside to sponsor apprenticeships, any funding towards the scheme will be made from our existing pay budget.
