FORTH Valley College’s Modern Apprenticeship (MA) open evening attracted nearly 600 people.

Interest in the programme has been intense and anyone applying for an MA has until Saturday 31 January to complete and submit their application online through the college website.

The event – held on Thursday 15 January at the Falkirk campus – was organised to showcase what is on offer for students and what becoming an MA is all about.

Industry giants such as Alexander Dennis, Scottish Power, Eastcoast Trains, Calachem, ECITB, Global Science, FMC, WGM Engineering and Ingenza were among those present on the day.

Skills Development Scotland also offered expert guidance on Modern Apprenticeships and Forth Valley College had a stand to aid potential students.
