Apprenticeships
Taking on an apprentice can help with addressing skill gaps, can provide you with access to future talent, give you the opportunity to train and upskill new and existing employees and provide a different dimension to your workplace.
There are three types of apprenticeships:
Foundation Apprenticeships: for secondary school pupils to give them workplace experience whilst still completing their qualifications.
Modern Apprenticeships: for people aged 16 and over giving individuals the opportunity to earn a wage whilst studying towards an industry-relevant qualification.
Graduate Apprenticeships: an apprenticeship that gives apprentices the opportunity to take their studies up to Masters level.
For more information about why you should hire an apprentice, different apprenticeship frameworks and where to start, visit www.apprenticeship.scot.
