Your Modern Apprentice could be someone new to your company
- bringing ambitions and fresh enthusiasm - or you could have
an existing member of the team developing new skills that will help
make your business a success. In either case, you could be eligible
for support to help with their training costs.
You can pass on your own expertise and your Modern Apprentice
will get training in the things your business needs to grow.
It just takes one call to 0800 783 6000 to
speak to someone about Modern Apprenticeships.
If you like what you hear, someone from Skills Development
Scotland will be able to discuss with you in more detail how
it would best suit your business to get involved in the
programme.
If you like, they can arrange for a training provider to find a
suitable candidate for you - someone who really wants to get on in
your line of work. Or you could train an existing employee as
a Modern Apprenticeship and use their new skills for the
benefit of the company.
Speaking about apprentice Jamie Gray, operations manager at
Spirit AeroSystems, John Kelly, said: "During his apprenticeship
Jamie fully committed himself to the programme and as a result he
has developed into a very capable, popular and ambitious
engineer."
Modern Apprenticeships are available in a number of sectors so
there's something suitable for business of all shapes and
sizes.
When you take on a Modern Apprentice, you are creating a
position where the employee is paid by the employer. But Skills
Development Scotland contributes to the cost of training and help
will be given with the paperwork, so you can get under way with the
minimum of disruption to your day-to-day business.
By investing in a Modern Apprentice you will be able to build
the skilled, loyal, motivated workforce you need to compete - now
and in the future.
You'll also be giving someone the chance to build themselves a
better future and supporting a key input to Scotland's economic
growth.
