Apprenticeship training is an effective tool in supporting your business and helping your people to grow.
Whether you are employing an apprentice to fill skills gaps or up-skilling existing staff, apprenticeship training can help enhance your workforce while fitting around your needs as an employer.
We offer apprenticeship programmes in everything from Dental Nursing to IT, Business to Engineering and provide state-of-the-art facilities across six campuses in the heart of Scotland.
Our apprenticeship programmes offer various pathways to employment or further education, and along with Modern Apprenticeships we also provide Foundation Apprenticeships for school pupils looking to take their first steps to employment.
Our past apprentices have gone on to achieve great things, and our present ones are positive about their future after expanding their skillset with New College Lanarkshire – just read our case studies below.
We regularly assess the curriculum to ensure that apprentices are getting the training relevant to their work and practise high industry standards.
This can help develop existing talent within your workforce that is just waiting to be discovered and developed – so you don't need to look outside your organisation for skills your organisation is lacking.
Other benefits of apprenticeships to you and your business can include:
Foundation Apprenticeships (FA) offer work-based learning for school pupils, allowing them to get a feel for a career, achieve a vocational qualification and gain work experience alongside their school studies.
You can get involved in various ways, including site visits, industry talks, setting industry challenges, mentoring support and practical work placements.
Modern Apprenticeships (MA) offer structured, on-the-job training and a qualification designed for your industry. MAs get to know your business inside out and apply their learning right away.
Whether you are hiring someone new or using the programme to upskill existing staff, we ensure apprentices get the training relevant to their work and practise high industry standards.
Graduate Apprenticeships (GA) are designed by industry for industry to meet specific employer needs and attract new talent.
We currently work in partnership with the University of the West of Scotland to offer a Graduate Apprenticeship in IT: Software Development.
