@cravencollege: Following the publication of the 2022/2023 National Apprenticeship Data, Craven College’s overall achievement of 67% has ranked the College 15th out of 152 in the country when comparing against General Further Education Colleges (GFE) and places the College as the highest ranked provider in Yorkshire and Humberside.
Craven College has a proud heritage of excellent Apprenticeship provision and of success rates when compared to other providers.
The College offers over 30 different Apprenticeships, including a range of land-based routes, all of which are aimed at the needs of local employers, emerging skills gaps and the succession planning of an older workforce.
National ESFA Achievement Data released in mid-March, showed that the College had again, and for the 10th year, equalled or bettered 90% of other GFE Colleges across the country.
Apprenticeships have been independently assessed since 2019 which compounded by Covid, has made achievement in this area a greater challenge.
