Foundation Apprenticeships
Breaking down barriers between school and work
Foundation Apprenticeships
Foundation Apprenticeships offer pupils in S5 and S6 in Scotland the opportunity to attain qualifications while engaging in work-based learning within the school environment. These apprenticeships present a pathway to a ‘higher’ qualification without the need for exams, providing valuable support and guidance throughout the learning process.
