Foundation Apprenticeships:

Skills for work, learned while at school. You end up with a qualification equivalent to a Higher.

Modern Apprenticeships: 

With a Modern Apprenticeship, you learn on the job. You'll be just like any other employee, but you'll also be working towards a qualification. 

You could be spending some time at work, and some time at college or with a training provider. But you'll be able to put your new skills into practice right away. And you're getting paid while you get your qualification.

There are more than 80 different MAs available, so you have plenty of options. You can use the My career options search on My World of Work to find out about all the different types of MA. And, if you start using your My World of Work account, they can give you suggestions of which ones might suit you best.

Graduate Apprenticeships:

With a Graduate Apprenticeship, you'll be an employee - similar to a Modern Apprenticeship. But you'll be spending some of your time at university, working towards a degree. And earning a wage at the same time.

Graduate Apprenticeships are still growing, but there are already some opportunities available in key industries. Find out more at https://www.apprenticeships.scot/become-an-apprentice/graduate-apprenticeships/
