Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2019

 

The theme for this year’s Scottish Apprenticeship Week is #HereBecauseOf . The idea behind it is thank a colleague, instructor, mentor or boss who has helped you develop their skills and realise your potential.

We asked some of our learners who they are Here Because Of…
