Fifty young people are to start on a path to a career with a
modern apprenticeship at Scotland's largest health board.
To help young people access good quality training and get a
much-needed foothold on the employment ladder, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde
has offered apprenticeships in a range of areas.
The apprentices will sign up to a learning programme in
addition to the on-the-job training they will receive.
Jobs include nursing assistants, clerical workers and
receptionists, youth workers, technical officers and engineering.
Jobs will last two, three or four years depending on the
type of role.
Each apprentice will have a mentor in addition to their line
manager who will support them during their time while they also carry out academic
study at Glasgow Clyde College.
Andrew Robertson, OBE, chairman of NHSGGC, launched the
programme at a special event which all the new apprentices attended yesterday
at Glasgow Clyde College.
People at the event also got the chance to see a short film,
which featured a Modern Apprentice from the 2011 programme.
Mr Robertson said: "I look forward to welcoming the new
apprentices into our workforce.”
