Apprenticeships
Foundation Apprenticeships
A Foundation Apprenticeship allows you to gain work experience while in the 5th or 6th year at school while achieving a recognised qualification at SCQF Level 6. This is usually one afternoon a week.
The qualification is funded by Skills Development Scotland and the work experience placements are unpaid. At present, we offer these in our Early Years teams.
Modern Apprenticeships
You can apply for a Modern Apprenticeship if you
- have left school within the last three years
- are between 16 to 29 years old, and are care experienced* or have a disability
- are currently employed by us but would like to be qualified for your role**.
*You would be classed as care experienced if you were looked after by a local authority at any point during your childhood. This includes being ‘looked after at home’ under a legal order, or ‘looked after away from home’ in a care setting such as foster care, kinship care or residential care.
**As an employee with us, you would be on a fixed-term contract for two or four years, depending on the role.
Graduate Apprenticeships
These are available to people of all ages. They give people the chance to gain a recognised qualification at SCQF Level 9 or 10 (degree level) while in work.
You may think that these are for people who have already completed a degree or higher, but that’s not the case. They are a great opportunity for those that are in work and looking to upskill in their chosen field.
As an employee with us, you would be on a fixed-term contract for four years.
