Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2026

Education Scotland, e-Sgoil and Skills Development Scotland are working in partnership to deliver a range of inspirational talks from apprentices throughout Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2026, taking place 2nd – 6th March.

Apprentices share their own experience of what it’s like to be an apprentice and the help they get on their apprenticeship to learn skills that support them and their employer. The sessions will help pupils make informed decisions about their future.

This year we'll have a range of 20-minute pre-recorded interviews with apprentices working in a range of sectors, which will be made available from Monday 2nd March to watch at any time during the Week and beyond. We will also provide a range of recordings from past DYW Live Scottish Apprenticeship Weeks for sectors not covered this year. The sectors with new 20-minute interviews will be:

• Digital
• Construction
• Childcare
• Engineering
• Energy
• Social Care

We hope you enjoy the content and that your learners have a great Scottish Apprenticeships Week.
