The two-year initiatives involve on-the-job experience in a number of placements. In addition, the firm is to recruit two groups of Craft Apprentices through its Networks business as part of its 2015 intake.

Sheila Duncan, HR Director at ScottishPower, commented: "This coordinated approach to recruitment and development at varying skill levels really underpins ScottishPower's engagement strategy, by introducing new people to the wider careers available in the energy industry and building a talent pipeline to ensure we have the right people with the right skills to help deliver our future energy solutions."
