  • Diane Mitchell, Director of Workforce Development at West Lothian College, will then look at Modern Apprenticeships and how they are ideal for developing future talent.
  • We’re also featuring a current Graduate Apprentice, Aaron Charge, as he shares his journey having started off as a Foundation Apprentice.
  • Lynne Somerville, Business Relationship Manager at Heriot-Watt, will then look at how Graduate Apprenticeships are a great way to either attract new talent or upskill and reskill existing employees.
