Table 1 - Craft Apprenticeships: Forecast population by industrial sector

Population December 2016	2,400	4,200	2,600	1,800	25	11,025

Population December 2020	7,092	8,144	3,093	2,756	10	21,095

Table 2 - Forecast population for new apprenticeships*

Year	Nos.
Population December 2016	82
Population December 2017	882
Population December 2018	2,370
Population December 2019	3,994
Population December 2020	6,069

*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.
