Figures for those participating in Apprenticeships (previously called Modern Apprenticeships) funded by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) can be derived from the Individualised Learner Record (ILR). This was collated for the first time in 2001/02 (as an Interim ILR) and consistent and comparable figures are currently only available for the three following years.
The following table shows the total number of Apprentices in Darlington (based on the home postcode of the learner) for each year from 2002/03 to 2004/05.
