England science and technology education pathways
Details of education pathways prior to early career employment in England in different SOC2010 occupations (or groups of occupations), using pooled employment data from 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19 tax years; where an employee appears more than once, we take the information from the latest tax year observed. Further details are available in the publication methodology.
The 'proportion' measure shows the share of employees for a group defined by selecting filters from:
- breakdown: filtering the group variable to show individual occupations or STEM sub-groups
- group: to select a specific STEM sub-group or specific individual occupation
- pathway: to select employees whose highest qualification was attained in Higher Education, Further Education, an Apprenticeship, or at A/AS Level or GCSE level
- stem_qual: whether the highest qualification was in a STEM subject
- top_10_subjects: whether the qualification is in a top 10 subject area for early career workers, and which one
The 'all_occupations_proportion' measure is a comparator showing the share of employees for the group selected, but ignoring the occupation selection (defined by 'breakdown' and 'group').

Footnotes
- Employees are those aged 23-30 in the 2018-19 tax year included in the ASHE survey and linked to LEO.
- Education information is based on an employee's highest qualification in the 2018-19 tax year as identified in LEO.
- Subject is based on Sector Subject Area for the FE and Apprenticeship pathways and JACS classification for the HE pathway.
- The STEM classification is based on the subject of the qualification.
- A Levels and GCSEs are undertaken as a bundle of qualifications and are therefor not allocated to a STEM category or subject.
