Modern Apprenticeships might be right for you if you prefer to learn from hands-on experience, and would prefer part time rather than full time study. Being able to earn while you learn is another plus point.
The Modern Apprenticeship in Industrial Applications is available at SCQF Level 5.
You will learn about manufacturing processes and how to use machinery to work with materials such as metal and plastic. You will cover techniques such as cutting and shaping to make all kinds of goods. Training also covers health and safety and how to improve operating processes.
Anyone living in Scotland who is over school leaving age can apply. Sometimes employers set an upper age limit, as the Scottish Government doesn’t always fund training for those aged over 24.
You would check this with individual employers.
No formal entry requirements or experience required.
You will achieve the relevant Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ), Diploma or other competency based qualification. In addition, you work towards core skills and complete industry specific training.
This apprenticeship takes between 12 and 24 months to complete.
If you start an apprenticeship at SCQF Level 5 or 6, you may be able to progress to a higher level, if available. You could also progress into a related job.
