Counts for blank/unknown variables are excluded from the table.
Please note that some categories are based on a small number of cases, which may affect how the results should be interpreted. Counts less than 30 have been suppressed.
Differences in delivery and outcome definitions for employer co-funded and independent (not co-funded) learners limit direct performance comparisons. Co-funded learners are upskilled in their current job with employers part-funding training, and a successful outcome is a new role or responsibility in the same organisation. Independent learners, who may be employed or unemployed without employer funding, achieve a positive outcome by securing a new job or new opportunities if self-employed.
When cells show ‘no data’, it means there is no corresponding value stored in the underlying file.
For Skills Bootcamps funded through grants or HGV extensions in the previous financial year, the only available benefits data indicates whether learners were claiming Universal Credit. While the ILR provides more detailed information, we coded all benefit recipients as ‘in receipt of Universal Credit’ and all others as ‘not in receipt of Universal Credit.’ we recognise this generalises learners’ benefit status but is the most accurate approach given the data available.
