Growth in Construction Sector Apprentices
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the news that the total number of new apprentices coming into the industry through ConstructionSkills Scotland increased by 15% in 2012 compared with 2011; understands that, over the same period, there was a decrease of 34% in the number of apprenticeship restarts; considers that ConstructionSkills Scotland has been successful in restarting some 80% of redundant apprentices since the recession started, and believes that the work of ConstructionSkills Scotland, during a challenging period for the sector, has helped to ensure that young people continue to be given the support they need to enter into the construction industry.
