That the Parliament recognises that the Scottish Apprenticeship Week will take place from 2 to 6 March 2026; acknowledges the immense contribution of apprentices across a range of sectors and their central role in driving Scotland’s economic growth and future; welcomes the commitment of businesses, such as RSE, operating in Scotland, which, it believes, create new employment opportunities, are innovative and contribute to advancing the resilient infrastructure needed for generations to come; believes that RSE is one of Scotland’s leading businesses for water technology, with manufacturing and specialist engineering facilities across the country, including in Dalgety Bay in the Mid Scotland and Fife region, offering a variety of opportunities for school leavers, as well as workers looking for a change in career; applauds that, for almost 30 years, RSE has supported 400 people through its apprenticeship programme, combining on-the-job training with formalised college learning and equipping apprentices ranging from ages 17 to 43, with the necessary skills and qualifications to have a successful career in the water industry; extends its very best wishes to apprentices training with RSE, and other businesses across Scotland, and wishes them every success as they develop the skills needed to take on new opportunities that industry depends on.
