We’re supporting Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2022, co-ordinated by Skills Development Scotland, to show the value of Scottish Apprenticeships to people, business and the economy.

This year’s theme is Apprenticeships Work, which aims to highlight how apprenticeships are providing the skills employers need now and for the future.

Developed in partnership with employers, apprenticeships continue to adapt to respond to industry needs. Scottish Apprenticeships work by providing thousands of opportunities to get a job, get paid and get qualified across Scotland every year.

The Scottish Government is committed to increasing the number of apprenticeships in Scotland. It is providing opportunities and support for people and businesses through apprenticeships to help strengthen the economy.

Scottish Apprenticeships are a crucial part of the Young Person's Guarantee, providing thousands of opportunities for young people affected by the pandemic. Apprenticeships can help to drive equity of opportunity and give employers the tools and support to be inclusive in recruitment.

Scottish Apprenticeship Week is a time to show that apprenticeships provide opportunities that work for everyone. To find out more about how Scottish Apprenticeships work and how to get involved visit apprenticeships.scot

Pupils from the Inclusion and Support Service (ISS) were delighted to go on a site visit to the Five Sisters Zoo, where they had the opportunity to spend time with both the Head of Education and one of the Zookeepers. With an interest in the animal care and conservation sectors, the pupils gained a valuable insight into the zoological industry and were able to link their learning to their National Biology qualifications.
