Forest Enterprise Scotland have been running a Modern Apprenticeship Scheme since 2004, and as such aims to provide new entrants to the forest industry with a broad foundation of knowledge and experience in order to gain employment within the sector. The Modern Apprenticeship Scheme seeks to deliver a range of industry recognised formal training as well as an opportunity to consolidate training and knowledge within forest district work teams, where apprentices can gain both experience and informal learning from a range of experienced staff. Forest Enterprise Scotland and its Forest Districts offer a range of forest and land-based industry opportunities and experiences and apprentices will have the opportunity to develop a working knowledge of both land-based and environmental issues as well as developing key employment skills.
