Modern Apprenticeships

The Modern Apprenticeship programme offers people aged 16 to 19 the opportunity to earn while they learn, as they work towards a recognised qualification, skilled employment and greater career prospects. ACT offers individuals the chance to gain skills and qualifications in hairdressing, whether they are coming straight from school or further education or already in employment. Funding for a Modern Apprenticeship programme is made available from Skills Development Scotland.
