Question

Competition for apprenticeships

How many people apply for how many apprenticeships places each year in TfL? Has there been an increase in competition for TfL apprenticeships since the scheme began?

Answer

Date: Saturday 13 September 2014

This year TfL received approximately 3,320 applications for their apprenticeship schemes, which had 107 vacancies.

Due to the increasing number of apprenticeships offered by TfL the number of applications has increased and they are becoming more competitive.

As more organisations offer apprenticeships, TfL is now competing with other employers to recruit the best talent for its apprenticeships.
