The countdown is on! Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2017 – from 6 to 10 March – will show that apprenticeships work for businesses, individuals and the Scottish economy Organised by Skills Development Scotland (SDS), the campaign highlights the commitment of businesses who 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. SDS wants businesses, industry, colleges, councils, training providers and those with a shared interest in the success of the apprenticeships to back the week and encourage many more employers to take on apprentices. The week sees events and activity across the country, so there’s no better time to highlight your role in supporting apprenticeships Find out more and register your event at www.scottishapprenticeshipweek.com For further information about Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2017, email scotapprenticeweek@sds.co.uk or call 0141 285 6171.
