Raeburn Training

Scottish Apprenticeship Week

6 March 2026

This #ScottishApprenticeshipWeek has been a great opportunity to highlight how apprenticeships can create real pathways into employment and how we support businesses with their apprenticeship intake.

At Raeburn Training, we work with employers to prepare new starts for the workplace through job readiness training, industry skills, and guidance on available funding routes that can support recruitment.

If your business is considering recruiting apprentices, speak to us- we can help you plan your intake and ensure new starts arrive with the right foundation.

This week we attended:

West Fife Schools Apprenticeship Festival

On Monday, Derek and Calum had a stall at the event. It was fantastic to see so many young people exploring their future careers and having conversations about the wide range of opportunities available within the construction industry.

Electricity Asset Services Open Day

A great event showcasing the full journey into employment for new entrants. Attendees heard from different parts of the business and had the chance to experience a variety of working stations linked to specific roles, helping them understand which pathway might suit them best.

Thank you to EAS for inviting Sarah, our director and Roger from Kingdom Works to speak about the job readiness and training support entrants will receive as they begin their careers.

DYW Fife Board Meeting

We also reviewed key performance indicators for 2026, including continued support for work placements, which are an important step in helping young people choose their careers. With around 20% of school leavers moving directly into the workplace, many will begin through apprenticeships, helping shape the workforce of the future.

Apprenticeships continue to play a vital role in building the future workforce, and we're proud to support both employers and new entrants every step of the way.

If your business is planning to recruit apprentices, get in touch with us to see how we can support your next intake.
