More than 80% of Scottish apprenticeship redundancies were from within construction

Construction apprentices are falling away at an alarming rate in Scotland, with MPs hearing redundancies among Scottish apprentices “disproportionately concentrated in the construction sector”.

At a Westminster Hall debate held last week (8 January) Labour MP Hugh Gaffney revealed that less than 20% of redundancies among apprentices came from outside the construction industry.

He said: “Redundancies among modern apprentices were disproportionately concentrated in the construction sector, and made up 83% of all redundancies.”
