Strengthening Apprenticeship in Scotland, United Kingdom
Apprenticeship systems have a crucial role to play in providing students, workers
and jobseekers with relevant training opportunities and developing the right skills
for the future in responding to changing labour market needs. This report focuses
on how to strengthen the apprenticeship system in Scotland (United Kingdom). The Scottish
apprenticeship system has made remarkable progress, becoming one of the most flexible
and wide ranging systems in the OECD. Apprenticeship starts are on the rise and outcomes
have been positive. Informed by international evidence, this report identifies strategies
to make the system more responsive, innovative and inclusive. These include strengthened
employer engagement, refined minimum requirements for programmes, strategic guidance
and practical support for innovation in apprenticeships, and efforts to make the system
more accessible and relevant so as to promote inclusion and equity.
