A trade body has warned improving levels in confidence across the food and drink sector could “quickly dissipate” if delays in funding new apprenticeships continue.
Scottish Bakers, a membership organisation supporting the bakery trade throughout Scotland, has written to the Scottish Government to express dismay at the delay in confirming funding for new apprenticeships starts.
Last week, the Scottish Training Federation (STF) said thousands of young people across Scotland have been “left in limbo” as no new modern apprenticeships will be available “for the foreseeable future” due to delays with government funding.
