Week 225: Degree & Higher Apprenticeships overview – a slowish week touched with LMI gold

If you’ve been directed to this page through a link and want to see my latest posts, just go straight to https://alanbullockcareers.com/blog/ and you can catch up with my most recent content. This one was published back in April 2024 and a lot has changed and evolved since then – we’re now on Week 250!

Latest reflections on the situation in England

It was a case of quality rather than quantity this week, but the quality was very high indeed in the sense that every day threw up one or two gems. Hence, it was a week full of intrigue from an LMI perspective and I’ve picked out a dozen highlights for a special mention in dispatches. These are:

Four more Social Researcher DAs in London and Brighton, taking the total to 44 for an occupation that only first appeared as an apprenticeship in January 2024
A Hotel Manager DA in Soho (London)
An Architectural Assistant DA in Fareham (Hampshire), which is another occupational area that’s starting to show up a bit more than it used to
A remote Digital Marketing DA that requires occasional travel to Manchester for social events and study
A selection of operational HA roles with South Western Railway based at Waterloo, Clapham Junction, Salisbury, Southampton and Bournemouth
A Tree Officer HA with Devon County Council
A Horticultural & Landscaping HA with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission based at the Cannock Chase German Military Cemetery in Staffordshire, which would be a firm contender for my vacancy of the year award, if I had one, and a very moving place to visit from all accounts too, with almost 5.000 graves from WW1 and WW2 in a tranquil setting
Another Countryside Ranger HA based in Esher (Surrey), to add to the recent little flurry of these around the country like last week’s five in various parts of Kent
A Finance Assistant HA at Luton Town Football Club, who are currently in the Premier League albeit in a relegation dogfight with Burnley and Nottingham Forest
Ten Residential Childcare Practitioners based in Blackpool
Three Governance Officer HAs in London, which lead to qualification as a Chartered Company Secretary and offer exceptional career prospects – see below
And for quaintness I also liked the Quantity Surveying DA that popped up in Upton Snodsbury near Worcester.

The Governance Officer HAs came with a particularly interesting insight into the scope of the role. Company Secretary teams are increasing in importance as more regulation and compliance requirements hit companies, and hence it’s potentially a lucrative career to get involved in at this time. As it says in the job spec, “you can earn similar salaries to lawyers but career progression is a lot quicker” and “it’s a great career choice if you enjoy business law and how companies are run”.

In the meantime, I’ve also reviewed and slightly adjusted my regional data this week after retrospectively noticing a minor miscalculation in my Week 224 figures. I’m always making little tweaks and improvements like this to try and keep things fresh and as accurate as possible.

As for this week’s featured image, the batch of social care vacancies in Blackpool led me to select a photo by Peter Wolf from Pixabay. It brings back memories of my numerous visits there during summer holidays in Lytham St Annes in the 1960s, a cricket tour to Freckleton in 1975 and a Careers conference at the original Hilton Hotel on North Promenade about 20 years ago. If anyone else is old enough to have watched soccer legend Jimmy Armfield play at Bloomfield Road or The Bachelors doing their summer season at the ABC Theatre, or travelled by train to Preston on the South Fylde railway line behind a Fairburn tank locomotive, do drop me a message. I’m not expecting any though.

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 22^nd to 28^th April 2024 I recorded:

57 new Degree/Professional Apprenticeship vacancies (Levels 6/7) and
96 new Higher Apprenticeship vacancies (Levels 4/5)
giving a total of 153 for the week

In the 225 weeks from 1^st January 2020 to 28^th April 2024 I’ve now recorded:

33,078 new Degree/Professional Apprenticeships (Levels 6/7) and
25,886 new Higher Apprenticeships (Levels 4/5)
giving a total of 58,964

The average weekly totals across all 225 weeks have been:

147 DAs + 115 HAs = 262 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: 1,073 vacancies at SQF Levels 10/11
Wales: 253 vacancies at Levels 6/7 and 193 at Levels 4/5
Northern Ireland: 172 vacancies at Levels 6/7 and 31 at Levels 4/5

My most recent quarterly Scotland report was published in March and I also hope to publish an annual Wales report in June and something on Northern Ireland too.

Updated occupational analysis

Every week I update my occupational analysis, breaking the England vacancies down into what I loosely define as ‘occupational areas’.

Greater London (13,192)
Yorkshire (5,278)
West Midlands (3,780)
Greater Manchester (3,270)
Bristol & Gloucestershire (2,894)
Hampshire (2,069)

Herefordshire (58)
Rutland (19)
Remote-working or flexible location (104)
Region specified but not county (87)
Unspecified region (134)

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 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:

13,192 London (1,078,600: 12.23)
6,460 South West (645,800: 10.00)
7,630 North West (884,600: 8.63)
6,209 West Midlands (720,900: 8.61)
8,796 South East (1,040,500: 8.45)
5,300 Yorkshire & The Humber (670,800: 7.90)
5,397 East of England (685,300: 7.88)
3,783 East Midlands (593,700: 6.37)
1,959 North East (313,000: 6.26)
104 Remote or flexible
134 Unspecified region

58,964 Total England (6,633,200: 8.89)

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.

NB The Teesside area of North Yorkshire is in the North East region (not Yorkshire & The Humber) and North East Lincolnshire is in the Yorkshire & The Humber region (not East Midlands).
The 87 vacancies for which the region was specified but not the county were in West Midlands (48), East Midlands (24), South West (9) and Yorkshire & The Humber (6).

Going forward

All being well I’ll continue posting weekly or fortnightly updates, usually on Sunday nights or Monday mornings.

Footnote: 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, and where you live is a factor as well. To a certain extent there’s probably a mismatch between students’ aspirations and the actual occupations available too, 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 NHS vacancies are 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 58,964 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.
