Scottish Apprenticeship Week 4 to 8 March

Scottish Apprenticeship Week (SAW) is a nationwide celebration of apprenticeships. It's a time when everyone can promote the benefits of work-based learning to people, employers and Scotland.

SAW 2024 aims to shine a spotlight on the benefits that work-based learning brings to:

  • people of all ages and backgrounds
  • employers of all sizes
  • Scotland’s economy

Apprenticeships create the skills every generation needs, and every employer wants. SAW 2024 will highlight that apprenticeships give people high-quality opportunities, supporting them to achieve their full potential.
