Scottish Apprenticeship Week
Scottish Apprenticeship Week shows how apprenticeships are unlocking potential in people and businesses.
It’s a great time to highlight how apprentices and employers flourish through apprenticeships. A chance to celebrate how learning providers support apprentices, from diverse backgrounds and abilities - to achieve and develop skills.
Here are a couple of events happening locally this week to promote apprenticeships in Moray.
Skills Development Scotland – free employer sessions
Five free 45 minute SDS sessions from 7 - 10 March will cover a series of topics including current labour market intelligence and how apprenticeships support workforce strategies such as expanding your talent pool, improved employee retention, skills development and boosting productivity.
A full listing with more information on each session and links to register attendance are available on OurSkillsforce.
