The Scottish Apprenticeship Advisory Board
The Scottish Apprenticeship Advisory Board (SAAB) is an independent, industry-led body which ensures apprenticeships are demand-led, fit for purpose and future orientated.
Our vision is to have world-class, employer-led apprenticeships which are highly valued and open to all, helping to build a fairer, wealthier and greener Scotland.
As the voice of industry on Scottish Apprenticeships, SAAB is made up of leading employers and representatives from industry bodies across a range of sectors. SAAB covers looks at policy, standards and frameworks, communications, and funding across five groups:
