Modern Apprenticeship funding available through Skills Development Scotland

We are pleased to announce that funding has been allocated to training providers for Modern Apprenticeships and this includes funding for staff who are aged over 25.

Modern Apprenticeships help employers to develop their workforce by training new staff, and upskilling existing employees. For individuals, an MA is a job which lets them earn a wage and gain an industry-recognised qualification.

The Modern Apprenticeships can be accessed through the Skills Development Scotland website by selecting the Modern Apprenticeship box at the bottom of the page.

Alternatively, please follow this link to apprenticeships.scot where you will find guidance on accessing modern apprenticeships and training providers in your local areas.

Please see below links to the MA contribution tables giving information on allocated funding groups.
