Going into S5 or S6?

Set yourself up for a big future with a Foundation Apprenticeship

Foundation Apprenticeships give senior phase pupils an inside view of Scotland’s thriving industries.

Pupils can combine a recognised qualification with valuable experience in industries where there’s a rising demand for a skilled workforce.  

If you’re going into S5 or S6, you still have time to apply for a Foundation Apprenticeship to get work experience with some of Scotland’s top employers.

Visit apprenticeships.scot/foundation to find out what’s available in your school and apply online.

As part of Scottish Apprenticeship Week we had a number of companies hosting talks and tours for school pupils across the West Region. 
The pupils were able to find out about various routes into different industries and get an insight into life at each company.

We also held our own social media campaign in which companies participated and showed their support towards apprenticeships.

We would like to say a massive thank you to all of the below employers who held talks & tours and for participating in our campaign.

You can view all of our photos from SAW 2023 on our social media channels.

Here's to next year!
