Apprentices hailed
Clackmannanshire Council is celebrating the achievements of modern apprentices it has supported over the past 12 months as part of Scottish Apprenticeship Week (March 6-10).
Twenty-two young people have completed their apprenticeships with the council and other local companies and the majority have secured jobs or gone on to further or higher education at the end of their training.
Chief executive Elaine McPherson said:“As an employer, we are committed to supporting the modern apprenticeship programme and helping young people gain valuable training and paid work experience, whilst at the same time helping local employers recruit and train new employees.”
Over the past year, the council has extended the number and range of modern apprentices recruited across services and now has them in occupational areas such as adult care, civil engineering and facilities management.
