Apprentice for a Day: QMS at Scott Brothers | SUBTITLED

Bosses of leading food & drink organisations have gone back to the workplace to experience life as an “Apprentice for a Day”. Senior representatives from sector membership bodies such as Scotland Food & Drink, Food & Drink Federation, Quality Meat Scotland and Seafood Scotland got a hands-on experience reflecting the type of tasks taken on by an apprentice. They acted as an apprentice a day within a member business, meeting other team members and exchanging ideas and views along the way. Here Quality Meat Scotland CEO Sarah Millar experiences life as an apprentice at Scott Brothers in Dundee. The Apprentice for a Day project is being documented in a series of short videos that underline the importance of apprenticeships. The videos are being released to coincide with Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2024, a nationwide celebration of apprenticeships from 4 to 8 March. The weeks aims to promote the benefits of work-based learning to people, employers and Scotland by emphasising that apprenticeships create the skills every generation needs and every employer wants. This year’s campaign shows that apprenticeships give people high-quality opportunities. More information on Scottish Apprenticeship week can be found at https://www.apprenticeships.scot/even... Apprentice for a Day is part of Feeding Workforce Skills, which promotes the support available for food & drink employers to recruit, retain and develop their workforce. The initiative is delivered by Hoolet under the umbrella of Scotland Food & Drink Partnership’s Skills Advisory Group - https://www.foodeducationscotland.sco...
