Celebrating Scottish Apprentices
UHI Argyll is excited to celebrate the continued growth of its Modern Apprenticeship programme, with numbers rising year on year. From April 2024 to March 2025, we’ve welcomed 73 new Modern Apprentices, supporting our commitment to expanding opportunities for both individuals and businesses across Argyll, Bute and Arran.
Our success has been recognised at the prestigious Scottish Apprenticeship Awards. For the second year running, one of our apprentices reached the finals of the Modern Apprentice of the Year SCQF Level 5 category. The 2025 ceremony took place last week and we are thrilled to announce that UHI Argyll apprentice Mia Walker, from the Isle of Arran, was named the category winner. The recognition is a testament to the quality of training and the dedication of our apprentices and staff.

I was worried that I might not have support, but it turns out it’s the opposite - there’s plenty of contact between you and the lecturers, it’s all digitalised so I get my work done efficiently and I don’t struggle as much because I have the lecturers on hand.
