Figures for those participating in work based learning (WBL) funded by the learning and Skills Council (LSC) can be derived from the individualised learner record (ILR).
The following table shows the number of learners participating in WBL since 2001/02, the first time that a figure for the total number of learners in WBL during the academic year was published by the LSG. Train to Gain (TTG), a national service to support employers to improve the skills of their employees, was launched in April 2006.
Figures are included in the table for the last two years.
