As an employer, there are many benefits to recruiting an MA or offering a Modern Apprenticeship to an existing staff member.
Not only will you be developing enthusiastic young talent with the exact skills and experience your industry requires, but depending on individual circumstances, you could also access funding from Skills Development Scotland towards the delivery costs of your chosen MA Qualifications.
Modern Apprenticeships are increasingly popular with employers. As well as creating a more responsive, motivated workforce through broader, transferable skills and self-learning, they may also reduce staff turnover by the implementation of career progression plans.

We can help you recruit an apprentice in two ways:
-
You may already have someone employed in your company who you wish to develop further. In this case, you can contact us to arrange for one of our Modern Apprenticeship team to meet with you and discuss the most suitable Modern Apprenticeship for your employee.
-
You may decide that you would like to offer a job and training to a young person. If this is a job likely to lead to craft, technician or management level then the Modern Apprenticeship programme is a perfect solution.
We understand that the Modern Apprenticeship programme can impose an additional administrative load on employers, so we offer a Managed Service for Funded Programmes such as MAs. This is a package of training and services to support you throughout the programme from recruitment and selection of an apprentice through to workforce planning, funding and training delivery.
If you contact us with details of the vacancy, we can assist with the recruitment and selection of new Modern Apprentices by internally advertising your vacancies to our full-time students. We can also help you to select the Modern Apprenticeship programme best suited to your company’s needs.

As an employer, you could benefit from Fife College’s direct access to Skills Development Scotland (SDS) funding which supports all Modern Apprenticeships aged 16 -19 in paid employment.
Modern Apprentices that qualify within this age band will have all the college fees paid by SDS funding. Funding is also available for other age groups and depending on the industry and the MA framework, there may be no contribution required from the employer.
We are happy to talk you through the funding process. Contact us on sales@fife.ac.uk or phone 0344 248 0128.
Our skills and experience, combined with high-quality progress reviews, will enable employers to support their employees through work-based training. We are with you every step of the way and we will do our very best to find a Modern Apprenticeship to fit your company profile.
All Modern Apprentices have a personal training agreement where the employer and Fife College will work together with the Modern Apprentice to make sure that the plan is followed and the training agreement met.
