Exciting times ahead for Apprenticeships in Scotland. The new Scottish Government will build on the current modern apprenticeship scheme and create new Graduate Apprenticeships.The university-level apprenticeships will enable new links between business, students and our Universities, allowing students to work and earn as they study and improve work based skills alongside flexible higher level study. They will also adopt a similar approach for a wider range of College courses, with Technical Apprenticeships at HNC and HND level, focused on more of the technical skills our economy will need in the years ahead. They will also ensure that science, technology, engineering and mathematics are promoted by means of skills training and that an “internship culture” is developed to ensure better links between enterprise and further and higher education.
