Thousands of young people across Scotland have been “left in limbo” as no new modern apprenticeships will be available “for the foreseeable future” as a result of delays with Scottish Government funding.
The Scottish Training Federation (STF) said that employers have been forced to put their recruitment plans on hold, with training providers looking at laying off staff due to the shortage of work.
Every April, Skills Development Scotland (SDS) enters contracts with employers and training providers to deliver new modern apprenticeships.
