    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    I am pleased to see that London is leading on female apprenticeship starts 2011/12 with 55% compared to the England average of 52.5%. However, the GLA group apprenticeship starts show some discouraging figures with the GLA only having 37.5% female starts, London Fire Brigade 17.2%, TfL 14.1%. You said that you are leading the way when it comes to apprenticeships, so what action are you taking to encourage more female apprenticeship starts within the GLA group?

  • Apprenticeships (2)

    • Reference: 2013/1517
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    It is discouraging to see in the apprenticeship starts within the GLA group 2011/12, specifically in MPS and TfL that less than 20% of apprenticeship starts are from BAME background. This compares to a 42% England average. What action are you taking to encourage more young people from a BAME background to start apprenticeships in the MPS and TfL, especially given the difficulty the MPS have in engaging with young BAME communities?

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    TfL does not appear to record how many disabled apprentices started in 2011/12. Is this information being recorded now, and if not, could you make plans to see that it is recorded?

  • Apprenticeships (5)

    • Reference: 2013/1520
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    I understand that there will be improvements to monitoring and reporting systems that are being put in place across the GLA in regards to apprenticeships. Can you outline whether this will include: a. Monitoring how many apprentices go on to be in full employment one year later? b. Completions for each cohort? c. Recording how long the apprenticeships last for?
