The SDS Launch of the 2013 Modern Apprenticeship Scheme took place at the Tennent’s Training Academy.
The lives of 25,000 young people in Scotland have been transformed in 2012/13 by taking up a Modern Apprenticeship (MA) opportunity.
The Scottish Government and Skills Development Scotland have
confirmed that the target to enhance the job prospects of 25,000 young people
through training in a key sector has been met for a second year.
Minister for Youth Employment Angela Constance marked the
occasion by meeting a number of MAs working at the Tennent’s Training Academy
in Glasgow.
She said: “The Scottish Government recognises the value of
the Modern Apprenticeship programme in developing and improving the skills of
our young people. An MA gives them a job and a qualification, as well as a real
entry point to the working world. This is precisely why we set ourselves the
challenging target to offer 25,000 MA opportunities for each year of the
current Parliament and I am delighted that the target has again been reached.
