This week is Scottish Apprenticeship Week.  Apprenticeships cover such a wide range of disciplines and levels.   Below you will find some videos providing first-hand accounts from people who have undertaken either a Modern Apprenticeships, Graduate Apprenticeship (or both) in civil engineering.  Here they share their journey and the difference an apprenticeship made to them:-

·         Gavin Smith – “Without apprenticeships, I would never have got to where I am today” – hear about Gavin’s journey through his Graduate Apprenticeship https://youtu.be/S65603uCt5o
