Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2016

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.

In Moray, Skills Development Scotland are hosting 3 events on Wednesday 2nd March 2016. The first event, Modern Apprenticeship Employer Event is being held here in the Alexander Graham Bell Centre between 9am - 10am. The event is being held to provide expert advice about funding; how to recruit an apprentice; different types of apprenticeships that could benefit your business and support services.

This is also an opportunity to find out about new Foundation Apprenticeships – which allow school pupils to start apprenticeships in the classroom and the Scottish Government’s blueprint for youth employment - Developing Scotland’s Young Workforce.

The second event, Modern Apprenticeship Showcase runs in the Alexander Graham Bell Centre between 10am - 2pm.

Modern Apprenticeships : Meet the Parents Open Evening is being held in the Skills Development Scotland office at 232 High Street, Elgin between 5pm - 7pm. This event is to give parents information on the benefits of Modern Apprenticeships.
