Choosing an apprenticeship for your business

Apprenticeships can help you address skills gaps in your business. The government provides help with the cost of training an apprentice.

There are 3 different types of apprenticeship:

  • Foundation Apprenticeships let school or college students do short-term work experience at your business as part of a qualification
  • Modern Apprenticeships let your new or current employees gain a qualification while working in a paid role at your business
  • Graduate Apprenticeships let your new or current employees gain a degree while working in a paid role at your business

You can find more information on the apprenticeships.scot website.
