Government Skills
Government Skills is currently promoting a pathfinder covering apprenticeships in central government, building on the pockets of practice that already exist. Government Skills is also working with departments to deliver the pathfinder as part of the drive to increase apprenticeships in the public sector. Most apprentices are in customer service, business and administration and management.
However, not all apprenticeships are based in an office. Historic Scotland has set up an apprentice scheme for stonemasons, plumbers and joiners to train apprentices to upkeep castles and stately homes.
