Apprenticeship market
Unfilled places and unplaced applicants exist at the same time.
In the 2025/26 counselling year apprenticeship places remained unfilled while young people remained without a place. Both at the same time, in the same country.
Why both exist at once
- 1
Regional differences: place and applicant are not in the same location.
- 2
Occupational differences: the trade sought is not the trade offered.
- 3
Qualification differences: the requirements do not match.
- 4
Accessibility, image, working hours and pay.
Context: the two figures are not equally complete
Applicant figures capture total demand less completely than the figures for places. A comparison without this note would be misleading.
