This week is Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2019. As a council we are proud to run the 'Growing Our Own' scheme 鈥 introducing youngsters to a professional working environment.
Since 2014, P站色情片 has employed over 50 modern apprentices.
These are some of our current modern apprentices who are working throughout various departments within the council:
- 鈥淢y name is Cameron McCallum and I work as an apprentice in modern IT in the council's IT department. I learn through desktop, servers and comms. I learn about providing customer support for desktop, network and servers. This can be for corporate services or education. I enjoy being an apprentice as I am able to learn and gain as much experience as I can within a modern IT job through various teams i.e. desktop, servers and comms. I also enjoy working as an apprentice for P站色情片 as I am treated with the same respect as every other employee within the council and I am also able to build up my confidence in real work environment.鈥
- 鈥淢y name is Euan and I work in the Improvement and HR team at Kilmory castle. I was hesitant at first to opt for an apprenticeship but I am glad I did. An apprenticeship is great for learning new skills and ways of working.鈥
- 鈥淢y name is Rhian. I work as a digital marketing apprentice in the council鈥檚 communication team. I learn about how we can connect with customers in different ways through things such a social media to encourage people to visit, live, work or learn in P站色情片 and Bute. I enjoy working within an apprenticeship as it allows me to build on certain qualities and obtain new skills in a working environment.鈥
- 鈥淢y name is Lauren, I work within the Improvement and HR team at Kilmory. So far I have learnt about the recruitment and selection process, the systems used within the council and also day to day office tasks.
