PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Employment Schemes (28 October 2015)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many and what proportion of people who started employment through the Work Based Sector Academy scheme were still in employment with the same organisation after 13 weeks since that scheme began.

Asked by:
Alison McGovern (Labour)

Official statistics record starts to sector-based work academy pre-employment training only. The Department does not collate information on outcomes, nor the number of benefit claimants finding work through a sector-based work academy placement. There are no current plans to do so.

Official statistics are available on GOV.UK at:
