Who can apply for Graduate Apprenticeships
Your apprenticeship will take place in Scotland and you'll need to be a resident here to apply. As part of your application, you'll also need to show you have the right to live and work in Scotland.
There's no upper age limit on Graduate Apprenticeship. You can apply if you're 16 or over. Some vacancies might be for ages 18 and over because of health and safety requirements.
From 2021, all Graduate Apprentices must apply directly to SAAS for funding. For more information on how to apply, visit https://www.saas.gov.uk/full-time/graduate-apprenticeships
Already in work? You can complete a Graduate Apprenticeship as an existing employee, too.
