Why Scottish Apprenticeship Week Matters

Remit Training - Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2026

Apprenticeships That Solve Automotive Skills Gaps

Technical shortages across Scotland’s automotive and transport sectors are impacting productivity and growth. Apprenticeships provide a structured, sustainable way to develop skilled technicians trained to meet your exact operational standards and long-term workforce needs.

Build Stronger Talent Pipelines

Reduce reliance on reactive recruitment by developing your own talent. Apprenticeships help you attract new entrants, support succession planning in critical roles and create clear progression pathways that strengthen retention and stability.

Future-Proof Your Workshop & Workforce

As vehicle technology evolves, from EV systems to advanced diagnostics, employers need up-to-date technical capability. Apprenticeships combine hands-on experience with nationally recognised SCQF qualifications to ensure your teams are prepared for what’s next.

of apprentices were in automotive apprenticeship training in Scotland, making up around 7.2% of all apprentices in training

Future Fridays - Inspiring Scotland’s Next Generation

Every Friday, over 30 pupils attend our Scotland academy through our Future Fridays programme.

They work towards a Skills for Work: Automotive Skills National 4 (SCQF Level 4) qualification while gaining hands-on experience in vehicle health & safety, maintenance, modification and automotive career pathways.

Students also build employability skills through mock interviews, CV development and clear progression routes into apprenticeships, supported by leading automotive employers.

Future Fridays helps bridge education and employment, giving young people real confidence and career direction in Scotland’s automotive sector.

Tony Barker, Training Manager

Turning Point

We have had a steady stream of successful learners through a range of programmes at Level 2 to Level 5 with Remit. Some learners have required additional support, which Remit have gone above and beyond in supporting.  There are regular review meetings where we discuss how we work together to find the best route to success for our learners as we genuinely feel that apprenticeships give our staff an opportunity to grow, learn and develop new skills and ways of working that ultimately support the outcomes for people we support. 

Adam Plastow

Commercial Academy & Apprenticeship Manager, Volvo Truck & Bus

Why we chose Remit? Automotive is the core for Remit..it’s also their ability to change. The automotive industry is changing massively and it’s changing quicker and quicker and Remit have that ability to change and it’s driven all the way through. We’ve worked with the Scottish arm of the business for some years now and we’ve found that relationship to be really productive so my thoughts would be that would spread across the business, and my thoughts would be correct.
