Apprenticeship Evaluation 2015: Learner Survey

This document describes an evaluation of the UK's apprenticeship program, focusing on apprentice profiles, motivations, satisfaction, and outcomes. The program aims to enhance vocational skills and career prospects. The evaluation employed sampling, questionnaire design, multivariate analysis, and interviews with over 5,000 apprentices. Results showed high satisfaction, skill acquisition, and positive employment outcomes, with an increasing number of higher-level apprenticeships. The evaluation concluded that apprenticeships are effective for career advancement and are a preferred career entry route for many. It also identified areas for improvement in training quality and access to qualifications. The findings will guide future policy and aim to increase apprenticeship quality and quantity, targeting three million new starts by 2020. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
