Latest reflections on the situation in England

Unsurprisingly the week running up to #NAW2024 was very busy, with new vacancies posted across most of England from Northumberland to Cornwall. Even tiny Rutland got in on the act for the second successive week, thanks to another scattering of Mineral Products Technician HAs. I love recording Mineral Products vacancies because they’re so often located off the beaten track, with this week’s locations including Coxpark, Mells, Cheddar, Chipping Sodbury, Appleford, Ketton, Penkridge and Humshaugh. It’s also one of those occupations that probably doesn’t come up very frequently in career guidance conversations, even though it’s in the top forty in my HA listings.

Meanwhile, numerous employers were active across a wide range of other DA and HA occupations and it would take up too much time and space to try and summarise it all. However, having also been able to make a few slight adjustments to my cumulative data, mainly upwards, I think the overall figures are all the more intriguing to scan through, with almost 56,000 vacancies now analysed over the past four-and-a-bit years.  

Recently, I’ve also added a few occupations that are new to my listings. This week these included a Resilience & Emergencies Professional in Coleshill (North Warwickshire) and a Space Systems Engineer in my old stamping ground of Alton (Hampshire). Another trend I’ve been noticing is the extent to which hybrid-working seems to be growing. In occupations that lend themselves to it, I would say it’s becoming the norm rather than the exception.

As for this week’s featured image, I could have chosen several specific counties that punched above their weight, not least Cheshire (especially Warrington and Crewe), Warwickshire, County Durham, Cornwall and Northumberland. However, as the sun rises on National Apprenticeship Week, I’ve gone for a generic theme and picked out a seasonal sunrise photo that I took last week.

In addition, I’ve slightly revamped the layout of my weekly bulletin, as regular readers may notice below. In order to get straight into the data, I’ve now moved my explanation about the methodology I use to a new ‘Footnotes’ section at the bottom of the page, as it’s only updated occasionally. (That said, I’ve added an extra brief paragraph to the Footnotes this week.) The Footnotes section gives a summary of how I collect the data, the criteria I use for deciding what to include, and its limitations.

Finally, here’s a little tip. I imagine that the week ahead will also be a busy one and amongst other activities IBM will be launching some of their 2024 opportunities today. However, their Digital Technology DAs are due to open on Thursday and are likely to close on the same day because of their popularity, so you might want to alert students to this.      

Headline data (England)

Since 1^st January 2020 I’ve been continuously tracking new vacancies that would be suitable for Level 3 school/college leavers to apply for during their final year of full-time education or within a year of leaving. During the latest one-week period from 29^th January to 4^th February 2024 I recorded:

• 265 new Degree/Professional Apprenticeship vacancies (Levels 6/7) and
• 242 new Higher Apprenticeship vacancies (Levels 4/5)
• giving a total of 507 for the week

In the 213 weeks from 1^st January 2020 to 4^th February 2024 I’ve now recorded:

• 31,658 new Degree/Professional Apprenticeships (Levels 6/7) and
• 24,325 new Higher Apprenticeships (Levels 4/5)
• giving a total of 55,983

The average weekly totals across all 213 weeks have been:

• 149 DAs + 114 HAs = 263 average weekly total 

Latest update on Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

Having also tracked new vacancies in the three other devolved nations since 1^st June 2022, my latest running totals are as follows:

• Scotland: 953 vacancies at SQF Levels 10/11
• Wales: 235 vacancies at Levels 6/7 and 181 at Levels 4/5
• Northern Ireland: 167 vacancies at Levels 6/7 and 25 at Levels 4/5

My most recent Scotland report was posted in December and I intend to publish two-year Scotland and Wales updates at the beginning of June, with a Northern Ireland supplement too if my NI data is sufficiently reliable.  

Updated analysis by county and region

By county (loosely defined) the 55,983 higher and degree apprenticeships advertised in England since January 2020 have been distributed as follows:

• Greater London (12,608)
• Yorkshire (5,014)
• West Midlands (3,652)
• Greater Manchester (3,155)
• Bristol & Gloucestershire (2,722)
• Hampshire (1,964)
• Berkshire (1,889)
• Hertfordshire (1,300)
• Surrey (1,297)
• Cheshire (1,231)
• Tyne & Wear (1,144)
• Cambridgeshire (1,100)
• Cumbria (1,067)
• Nottinghamshire (1,052)
• Derbyshire (1,022)
• Sussex (1,016)
• Merseyside (970)
• Lancashire (925)
• Essex (874)
• Warwickshire (843)
• Devon (836)
• Suffolk (833)
• Buckinghamshire (768)
• Somerset & South Bristol (742)
• Dorset (713)
• Kent (697)
• Leicestershire (676)
• Wiltshire (656)
• Oxfordshire (653)
• Bedfordshire (631)
• Staffordshire (627)
• County Durham (525)
• Northamptonshire (439)
• Cornwall (411)
• Norfolk (408)
• Worcestershire (385)
• Lincolnshire (376)
• Shropshire (327)
• Northumberland (76)
• Isle of Wight (76)
• Herefordshire (59)
• Rutland (17)
• Remote-working with no central base (78)
• County not specified (129) 

Regional data: The table below shows how those stats add up regionally in the context of the local 15 to 24-year-old population. The population figures have been extracted from the latest ONS census data published in June 2022 and my analysis provides the following information:

• First number in bold = the latest cumulative number of vacancies for each region
• Big number in brackets = the resident population of 15 to 24-year-olds in the region using the latest ONS data rounded to the nearest 100
• Third figure in bold indexes my apprenticeship figures against the 15 to 24-year-old population. The ‘index’ shows the combined number of DAs and HAs since January 2020 per 1,000 of that population and the regions are then ‘ranked’ accordingly:

• 12,608   London (1,078,600: 11.69)
•   6,089   South West (645,800: 9.43)
•   7,348   North West (884,600: 8.31)  
•   5,893   West Midlands (720,900: 8.17)
•   8,360   South East (1,040,500: 8.03)  
•   5,146   East of England (685,300: 7.51)
•   5,029   Yorkshire & The Humber (670,800: 7.50)
•   3,485   East Midlands (593,700: 5.87)
•   1,827   North East (313,000: 5.84)
•        78   Remote-working
•      120   Region not specified

• 55,983   Total England (6,633,200: 8.44)

Whilst my data is always going to have flaws in it, I think the above comparisons give a fair reflection of the regional differences that exist. The South West’s prominence is perhaps surprising, with Bristol being a particularly busy hub. In fact, if we took Greater London out of the equation, then currently the western side of the country seems to be better served than the eastern side. I’m keeping an eye on this to see if there’s any real substance in my observation and whether indeed there’s more of an east/west divide than a north/south divide.   

Updated occupational analysis

Every week I update my occupational analysis, breaking the vacancies down into what I loosely define as ‘occupational areas’. In some cases these differ from the official apprenticeship standards terminology. For each occupational area the total number of vacancies since January 2020 is given below for both degree and higher apprenticeships.

Degree/Professional Apprenticeships (Levels 6/7):

In total there have been 31,658 new vacancies spread across 114 occupational areas and minimum starting salaries have ranged from £5,590 to £36,822pa, with the average being somewhere in the middle at around £19K to £20K. The occupational breakdown is as follows:

Going forward

All being well I’ll continue posting weekly or fortnightly updates, usually on Sunday nights or Monday mornings. Update on 7/2/24 – look out for next week’s blogpost especially, as it’s all kicking off in National Apprenticeship Week with over 250 new DA and HA vacancies already added by Tuesday evening.  

Footnotes: How the data has been collected  

Since 1^st January 2020 I’ve kept a record of degree and higher apprenticeship vacancies posted in England and in doing so have built up an evolving occupational and regional analysis. I largely use data extracted daily from the government’s ‘Find an Apprenticeship’ website, whilst also keeping very close tabs on other national vacancy sources.

My target audience is Level 3 school and college leavers and those who influence and advise them. Therefore, I only include vacancies at Levels 4 to 7 that ‘work-ready’ 18/19-year-olds seeking their first permanent role could reasonably apply for, whether in their final year of school/college or after gaining up to twelve months’ temporary experience.    

I use the term ‘work-ready’ because academic qualifications alone are never enough to compete successfully for a higher or degree apprenticeship. A UCAS points score of 112 is the most frequently quoted minimum entry requirement for DAs (sometimes more and often less), but it’s otherwise much more about the skills, qualities and insights an applicant can bring.

My data will never be fully reliable because not all vacancies are advertised nationally in a way that also gives an indication of precise numbers and locations. For that reason and others my reports always come with flaws, caveats and some editorial licence. However, I think the analyses I’ve built up paint a unique, intriguing and representative picture of what’s out there in a changing post-18 career landscape, as well as conveying a fairly realistic sense of comparative scale from both an occupational and regional perspective. 

As a general observation I think it’s fair to say that there will never be enough degree apprenticeships to meet the potential demand, while there are also distinct regional variations. To a certain extent there’s probably a mismatch between students’ aspirations and the actual occupations available as well, which occasionally leads to reports of some of the less popular vacancies being hard to fill. In addition, only about 25% of overall apprenticeship vacancies are taken up by under-19s, which partly explains why my cumulative data falls well short of any official data based on apprenticeship starts. Meanwhile, a significant proportion of those Level 3 students who do take up apprenticeships will start on Level 3 programmes rather than progressing directly to Level 4 or above. The prominence of STEM occupations in my listings is also very noticeable.

One further significant observation is that NHS and other healthcare roles have become increasingly prominent in my data over time, thanks especially to the wonderful NHS Jobs website. However, these vacancies often stretch my criteria to the limit in terms of the maturity and experience they look for. Occasionally school/college leavers are actually mentioned in the person spec, but more often they’re aimed at people with at least a few months’ experience or more. However, I’ve worked with a lot of young students in the past, especially those on Level 3 courses in the health and social care field and/or those with significant work/voluntary experience or caring responsibilities, who would be capable of making a very competitive application for such roles. Hence, I do include these vacancies if I think a mature 18/19-year-old would be considered, especially within a year of leaving school or college.

Finally, there’s sometimes an element of doubt about whether to include a vacancy under Degree or Higher. My approach to this is to count a vacancy as ‘Degree’ if it starts at Level 4 and moves seamlessly on to Level 6 or 7, but as ‘Higher’ if it starts at Level 4 with an option to progress to Level 6 as opposed to an expectation.

Although my data is not stored electronically, I do have a written record of all 55,983 vacancies with details of the employer, occupation, location(s). minimum starting salary (if known) and, in the case of DAs, minimum entry grades and degree provider. As a guidance practitioner myself it’s been an incredibly illuminating and informative process, transforming my own perceptions about the labour market.
