Boost for housing apprenticeships in Scotland

A joint plan to boost the number of apprentices employed by housing associations and co-operatives has been announced by Skills Development Scotland and the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations.

The joint effort to extend the number of Modern Apprentices in the housing sector forms part of wider plans supporting business and industry to meet Scottish Government targets of an increase from 25,000 to 30,000 new apprentices each year by 2020.
