East Londonderry has fewest apprenticeships
The most recent figures available, from July this year, show that there were 223 apprenticeships on offer in East Londonderry - the lowest total in Northern Ireland. The North Belfast constituency, meanwhile, had the highest number with 432. Across Northern Ireland, there were 6,296 apprenticeships.
The figures are taken from a response by Employment Minister Stephen Farry to a query about the number of apprenticeships available in each constituency by Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA Bronwyn McGahan.
