Summary of request

Your request 

The total number of people for each of the last eight years that have a) started and b) graduated from the Mayors Construction Academy approved schemes. Please also provide if possible a gender and ethnicity breakdown of i) starters and ii) graduates for each of those years.

Our response

The Mayor’s Construction Academy (MCA) programme operated from January 2019 to March 2023. Whilst we do not have a breakdown for learners who a) started or b) graduated from MCA approved schemes, we do have a record of the number of learners who completed construction training courses at MCA hub training providers which was as follows:

Financial year Achieved
2018/19 2,897
2019/20 15,513
2020/21 14,521
2021/22 15,190
2022/23 2,770
Total 50,891

 

Of the above learners completing construction training courses; 8 percent were female and 47 percent were from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.

Please note that the 2022/23 performance was less than previous years is that most MCA hubs had ceased delivery by then. Only three of nine hubs continued to deliver into 22/23, two of which closed at the end of Q1 22/23 as their funding period ended.
