Preantasachd/Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are a way of teaching work skills that have been around for centuries, and which have appeared in many different forms over the years.
We take a look at its long history, going back to the time of masters and apprentices, and see how the same model has then been adapted over the centuries. The 60s and 70s in particular saw many from the islands head to the heavy industry of the likes of Glasgow's shipbuilding where they had the opportunity to learn from top craftsmen.
Recent years have seen a rise anew in the opportunity to learn a trade. . How though has this model changed over the generations, and is this really the best approach to give young people their first steps in to the turbulent environment that is the modern world of work?
Apprenticeships - a nostalgic, and fascinating look at how an enduring form of education is now back in vogue.
