*At this stage, it is not possible to give an accurate breakdown of the forecast population in new apprenticeships on a sectoral basis. The Apprenticeship Council is continuing to work with consortia in developing a wide variety of proposals in various sectors of the economy made through the first call for proposals. In addition, following our second call for proposals last year a further 26 new proposals were approved for further development across a wide range of occupations. Once developed, these will further shape the sectoral breakdown of these new apprenticeships.
