A Graduate Apprenticeship in Social Work is being developed in a national drive to improve access into careers in the sector and support skills demand. There are 10,914 registered social workers in Scotland and the industry reports that there is an existing talent gap that shows an overall vacancy rate of 9.3%. Skills Development Scotland and the Scottish Social Services Council will work with employers, trade unions and professional bodies to develop the apprenticeship, with the aim for the University of the West of Scotland to deliver a pilot in academic year 2025/26.

Ending Scottish Careers Week with a #FeelGoodFriday story! 🥳 Charly Simpson was floundering at school until she spoke to Maxine, her careers adviser at Bertha Park High School in Perth. Charly shared that she loved getting stuck into practical work and helping her dad fix old cars. Maxine's support was life-changing and Charly's on the road to success, working as a Mechanical and Electrical Modern Apprentice for SSE Renewables and training with Fife College. 👏 👏 Read more about Charly's story and then find out about #apprenticeships on apprenticeships.scot. 👉 https://lnkd.in/e-pMUmpK #ShapeTheFuture #ScotCareersWeek24
