Modern Apprenticeship Toolkit

This is the second edition of the Modern Apprenticeship Toolkit. The toolkit provides an overview of Modern Apprenticeships and outlines how unions can successfully engage with the programme. The 2014 edition contains useful information, however is being updated to reflect changes in Scotland.

Modern Apprenticeship Case Studies

This second edition of the Modern Apprenticeship Case Studies publication has a greater focus on equalities. As outlined in the ‘Modern Apprenticeship Toolkit’, there continues to be a problem with gender based occupational segregation and under-representation of women, BME and disabled workers on the programme. This publication aims to demonstrate that this need not be the case and that good trade union and employment practice can be built on to ensure that the make-up of the workers on Modern Apprenticeships reflects the demographics of Scotland.

These case studies were gathered by Scottish Union Learning during visits to workplaces across Scotland. The examples cover many aspects of Modern Apprenticeships including levels, workplaces and industries and the role of unions. The examples included give reflective snapshots of union engagement with the Modern Apprenticeship programme, but are not an exhaustive collection.
