HC Deb 21 February 1984 vol 54 c466W
37. Mr. Lawler

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many trainees have participated in the ITEC scheme; and how many have, to date, been offered full-time employment.

Mr. Peter Morrison

From April 1982 to December 1983, 4,567 trainees entered the ITEC programme. No comprehensive data exist on the number of trainees offered full-time employment, but a survey conducted in March 1983 showed that between 65 and 70 per cent. of trainees leaving ITECs had obtained jobs or progressed to further training.
