Apprenticeships in Scotland for new & existing employees
UHI Perth can proudly demonstrate that their modern apprentices become valued and respected employees to local businesses across the region.
Foundation apprenticeships are available for school pupils in S5 and S6. They involve attendance at UHI Perth and work placement with a local employer, ensuring young people gain the skills employers need.
Modern apprentices gain skills they need while working. Between the employer sharing up-to-date skills and the assessor supporting observations, a recognised qualification can be gained, meaning they’ll be a real asset to any business.
Skills Development Scotland can support new starts or existing employees who require training or professional development to upgrade their skills, subject to eligibility.
Industry sectors currently available at UHI Perth include: social services and healthcare (adults and children and young people); hospitality; hairdressing; automotive; power distribution, engineering and construction.
