The results of the fifth annual IAC survey were published on 18 December 2018.

With a foreword from Gordon Marsden MP, Shadow Skills and FE Minister, the survey was responded to by more people than any previous year, giving an even clearer understanding of how and why people engage with apprenticeships. Insight from how people choose an apprenticeship, to how parents view apprenticeships, we provide key findings including:

  • 91% of respondents said they were pleased in their choice to take up an apprenticeship
  • 96% of industry apprentices are studying towards a registered qualification
  • 85% of apprentices say their training is of a good or very good quality
  • 91% of parents supported or strongly supported their child's choice to apply for an apprenticeship

About the IAC

The Industry Apprentice Council (IAC) has established itself as the UK's industry voice for apprentices.

Founded and supported as part of the Enginuity Group, the IAC is predominantly made up of young apprentices from the advanced manufacturing and engineering sector throughout the UK.

It is recognised by government as an important part of the apprenticeship debate, with members regularly invited to address MPs, peers and leaders in both industry and education.

All members of the IAC are passionate and have their own stories as to why they followed the apprenticeship path. They regularly share them at careers fairs, in schools and through the media to inspire the next generation to consider apprenticeships as a career option.
