Sustainable Resource celebrates SDS Modern Apprenticeship Week 18-22 May

Albion Environmental Ltd, a local training provider based in Ayr, celebrates Skills Development Scotland Modern Apprenticeship Week.   Modern Apprentices from South Ayrshire Council, North Ayrshire Council and West Dunbartonshire Council who are working towards gaining their Apprenticeship in Sustainable Resource Management are near to completing a milestone.  All attended a Waste Management Legislation Course which is jointly certificated by Albion Environmental Ltd and The Royal Environmental Health Institute of Scotland.   In addition, to support Modern Apprenticeship week each individual council ran their own events some of which raised funds for charity.   With the continued support of Skills Development Scotland and the Modern Apprenticeship Scheme, young people will gain valuable employment experience whilst gaining a national recognised qualification.

Councillor John Hampton, Youth Champion for South Ayrshire Council said: “Through their participation in this programme each of the young people will gain a recognised qualification which is something that they can build on in the future. The practical experience that they will gain is invaluable and will help them to develop their personal skills.”
