Survey seeks construction sector feedback to develop apprenticeship
The views of employers of all sizes across Scotland’s construction sector are needed to support the development of the new Design & Contracting apprenticeship which will meet the skills need of employers in Scotland.

Individuals and representatives from across the construction sector have been working to develop the Design & Contracting apprenticeship, and Skills Development Scotland is now seeking feedback on the apprenticeship through an online survey.
The survey will take around 45 minutes to complete and will ask for your feedback on the content of the apprenticeship and the skills which are relevant to design and contracting in construction.
