Scottish Apprenticeship week- including construction and traditional skills with GCHT, HES and ‘Girls into Construction’

From 29 February to 4 March Scottish Apprenticeship week is celebrated, with skills in construction and historic building conservation being demonstrated at taster events around the country, including with Glasgow City Heritage Trust (GCHT), Historic Environment Scotland (HES), and ‘Girls into Construction’ in Livingston.

Skills Development Scotland writes:
Scotland’s annual celebration of the contribution made by Scotland’s Modern Apprentices right across the country and in all walks of life is just around the corner.

Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2016 – from 29 February to 4 March – will show that Modern Apprenticeships work for businesses, individuals and the Scottish economy.

Organised by Skills Development Scotland, the campaign highlights the commitment of businesses that have decided to invest in the skills of their workforce.  It also showcases the successes of apprentices who have chosen to get a job, get paid and get qualified to develop their careers.

SDS wants businesses, industry, colleges, councils, training providers and those with a shared interest in the success of the Modern Apprenticeships to back the week and encourage many more employers to take on apprentices.  The week sees events and activity across the country, so there’s no better time to highlight your role in supporting apprenticeships.
