Pathway Apprenticeships for school leavers facing fewer opportunities - last remaining spaces!
Young people will have the chance to train and get qualifications in sectors with long-term prospects thanks to a new initiative launched in response to the pandemic.
Pathway Apprenticeships are for school-leavers up to 18-years-old who might be facing more limited options due to the economic impact from COVID-19. Around 1,200 opportunities will be available to young people in the first phase of the initiative.
Pathway Apprenticeships are being made available in areas including construction, business skills, software and hardware IT, engineering and early years.
Pathway Apprenticeships have been developed by Skills Development Scotland and partners as an immediate, short-term response to the economic impact of the pandemic. They support the Scottish Government’s Young Person’s Guarantee which ensures access to education, training or work, including an apprenticeship for every young person in Scotland.
First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon MSP said: “Our Pathway Apprenticeships programme will provide work-based training which will start by helping 1,200 young people gain key skills in sectors like construction, business, IT, engineering and early years education.
“It is essential that young people, who will make up our future workforce, can build their confidence, gain industry insight and develop valuable skills that employers require.”
First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon MSP
