Foundation Apprenticeships
Foundation Apprenticeships are two year courses open to pupils in S5 and S6. They help young people gain valuable, real-world work experience and access vocational training while they're still at school.
My World of Work

Consider a career in childcare
Many more staff are needed in nurseries and other early learning settings such as childminders. This is because the number of funded hours eligible two-year-olds and all three and four-year-olds has almost doubled to 1140 hours.
