Apprenticeships

Modern Apprenticeships (MAs) are for people who have left school and are aged between 16-19 years of age and live in the West Lothian area (although some of our trade apprenticeships are 16-24 years of age).

They offer paid employment (earn while you learn), workplace or college learning and work experience to help you gain new skills and qualifications.

• the work you will be asked to do
• the duration of the apprenticeship
• what the wages are
