Modern Apprenticeships are fantastic opportunities for both new and current employees to receive on-the-job training. This means you can actually get paid while learning and improving your skills in the workplace. Plus, you'll also earn a recognised Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) along the way! It's a win-win situation for building your career.
Modern Apprenticeships combine a qualification with on-the-job experience. This lets people work, learn and earn at the same time. We contribute towards the costs of their training, through a training provider who works with the business.
