Press release: Survey seeks pan sector feedback to develop digital technology apprenticeship 

The views of employers of all sizes and sectors across Scotland who are involved in digital technology skills are needed to support the development of the new entry level Digital Technology apprenticeship which will meet the skills need of employers in Scotland. 

The design and development of digital apprenticeships across Scotland are being reviewed and refreshed through a new employer-led approach to ensure skills and qualifications are not only fit for purpose; but fit for the future.

Individuals and businesses from across the digital sector have been working to redevelop the entry level Digital Technology apprenticeship, and Skills Development Scotland is now seeking feedback on the apprenticeship through an online survey.

The survey will take around 45 minutes to complete and will ask for feedback on the content of the apprenticeship and the skills which are relevant to areas including cyber security, data analytics and software development.  Participants can also choose to provide feedback on additional pathways developed for the Digital Technology apprenticeship at SCQF Level 8.

Anyone with an interest in the Digital Technology apprenticeship should take part in the survey. SDS is interested in hearing from employers, employees, representatives or stakeholders from all sectors, including trade bodies, trade unions, awarding bodies and training providers.

The survey can be found by visiting https://bit.ly/L6DigitalApprenticeshipSurvey and participants should complete it by Monday, 29 August.
