Tradespeople consider apprentices more important than ever despite Covid-19 decline⁣
⁣
A third of companies and tradespeople (31%) who regularly hire apprentices feel that the program has been made harder due to the pandemic, as new ONS figures2 show a 30% drop in new construction apprentices between August and October 2020, compared to the same period the previous year.⁣
⁣
Demonstrating the effect of Covid-19 on the scheme, more than one in five (22%) companies that usually hire apprentices took on fewer in 2020, despite a fifth (19%) of tradespeople believing that the program is more important now than ever.⁣
⁣
🔘 Over a fifth of companies that regularly hire apprentices took on fewer in 2020⁣
⁣
🔘 A quarter of tradespeople and companies plan on hiring new apprentices in 2021⁣
⁣
🔘 Percentage of female, BAME and apprentices with learning difficulties continues to grow year on year⁣
