#BusinessBackingTalent #ScotAppWeek

In celebration of Scottish Apprenticeship Week we have organised a full schedule of live virtual events to highlight the benefits to businesses and apprentices, the support available, funding and the benefits of work-based learning.

The series of podcasts is running alongside the online events (you can find recording of these on YouTube)

Niall Smith is a Modern Apprentice in Business Administration (SCQF Level 6) and is working for  Cochran Ltd. in Newbie, near Annan. He has been with the company for three years. On leaving school he first considered going into engineering, but then decided that a Modern Apprenticeship in business administration within an engineering manufacturing business would be the right path. Niall has recently been promoted to Engineering Sales Adviser. (The photo above shows Niall receiving his SQA certificate from Clint Burgess, MA Co-Ordinator at Dumfries & Galloway College.)
