Ministry of Defence written question – answered at on 29 June 2016.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what proportion of sponsored students at the Defence Sixth Form College, Welback become either officers in the armed forces or employees of his Department after graduating from university.
The current proportion of Sponsored students at Welbeck who enter Initial Officer Training (IOT) with one of the three Armed Services, or a career in the Ministry of Defence (MOD), after graduating from university is over 70%.
The information provided is based on a rolling cycle of figures using the 2007-2009 school entry figures set against the numbers in the same years who passed into IOT with the Armed Services or the MOD. The figures are 74, 71 and 73% respectively. Whilst we have Welbeck entry figures from 2010 onward, the final figures moving on from university are not yet available as not all students have completed their education yet, with most of the 2010 entry completing this year.
