Apprenticeships

The Modern Apprenticeships programme recruits and trains the technicians and supervisors of the future. It is open to anyone aged 16 and above who is aiming to achieve Scottish Vocational Qualifications at Level 3 or above. Modern Apprenticeships are designed by employers because employers are best placed to know the skills and attributes required in their employees.

As a Modern Apprentice, you are employed from day one and can train in a whole range of jobs at craft, technician and even trainee management level. Your training will equip you with the skills to meet the future needs of your chosen industry.

Apprenticeships are achieved at a pace and within a timescale appropriate to you and your employer. As you will usually be working towards a Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) at level 3 or above, this can take between 2 and 4 years.
