Life Sciences Modern Apprenticeships in Scotland
The Life Sciences Modern Apprenticeship has been developed by
Semta in consultation with employers and key partners in the
sector, including the following Colleges: Adam Smith College;
Dundee College; Forth Valley and Inverness, to produce a training
programme which meets the needs of employers.
Routes for study have been developed for
Laboratory Science, Animal Science, Scientific Manufacturing and
further development will take place over the next
year. Due to the different options available
employers/employees can choose to design an apprenticeship that
meets their specific needs.
The Apprenticeships are available to school
leavers, employees of school leaving age and above, including
existing staff. Employees will need to demonstrate to their
employer that they have the potential to complete the programme to
the required standard.
The Life Sciences Modern Apprenticeship
Framework has been designed, through its pathway structure, with
career progression in mind. Candidates can build on their
achievements and it is possible to progress from Technician to
Technologist Pathway and eventually Assistant Scientist Pathway
through greater and higher levels of working responsibility and
educational achievement, up to a Science degree.
