Trainees urged to take up the challenge
Employers and young people have been urged to take on the Apprenticeship Challenge.
Developing the Young Workforce West is urging local apprentice employers in Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire to get involved and make a difference in their area.
Supported by Ski l l s Development Scotland, the Scottish Apprenticeship Challenge 2017 will see groups of apprentices take on projects that utilise and develop the skills they have gained to benefit their community.
The challenge is open to any organisation with staff currently following an apprenticeship framework, and is open to either an individual apprentice, or a team of up to eight apprentices from any industry and either from the private or public sector.
All participating teams will be invited to a presentation ceremony in October where they will present their project to a panel of judges.
The categories for the awards will include: Most innovative project, best presentation, best report and an overall winner who will progress to the Scottish Apprenticeship Challenge National Awards.
Registrations must be received by June 30 and the challenge should be completed and report submitted by September 29.
