Skills Development Scotland (SDS) has recently published the outcome of its review of the contribution paid from public funds towards the cost of training Modern Apprentices. SDS is responsible for the administration of Modern Apprenticeships in Scotland; and this involves setting the appropriate public funding contribution for more than 80 Modern Apprenticeship frameworks. Contribution rates for the next five years have now been set. The results of the consultation can be found at Skills Development Scotland – Modern Apprenticeship Funding Rates.
