Context
The question builds on an initiative to support apprenticeships, asking for specifics on how the Wales Office will encourage these opportunities across Wales.
Will my hon. Friend set out what he is doing to encourage apprenticeships across Wales? Will he ensure that all new jobs offered in the Wales Office are offered as apprenticeships, not just graduate schemes? Will he ensure that the Wales Office meets the public sector target on apprenticeships? The MP asked for clear commitments and specific actions regarding apprenticeship opportunities.
I can assure my right hon. Friend that we will certainly meet the public sector target—we have been meeting it. We will be taking on further apprentices and we have just taken on a kickstart worker and somebody from the care leavers scheme.
