The public sector apprenticeships target was introduced by the government in April 2017 and sets a target for any public sector employer in England with at least 250 employees to employ an average of 2.3% of their staff headcount as new apprentice starts between 1 April 2017 and March 2021.
All public-sector bodies in scope must report annually on their progress towards meeting the target. The target is for new apprenticeship ‘starts', which includes both newly employed apprentices and any existing employees that have begun an apprenticeship.
