CCG (Scotland) have been recognised for their approach to apprenticeships in the Leading Apprenticeship/Graduate Programme Award category at the Herald Top Employer Awards.

The awards, set to take place on the 26th of October in Glasgow, commemorate businesses which prioritise training and progression, with an understanding that supporting their people is the best way to get positive results.

CCG's commitment to skills replenishment and development is engrained in the company's DNA; through continuous investment in product and people, we are able to maintain a pipeline of work that then allows us to re-distribute resources and provide employment opportunities for young men and women across Scotland.

This is principally undertaken via our industry-recognised modern and trade apprenticeship programmes – 59 apprentices are currently employed across the CCG Group – as well as a wide variety of training programmes and the availability of higher education advancement.

CCG acknowledge that by doing so, our business benefits in the longer term by having highly-skilled, highly-motivated people that will grow as we do whilst the wider impact on our industry and economy helps to positively tackle the current skills shortage and an ageing workforce.

Those backing the awards are eagerly awaiting the results.

Lynne McBurney, Arnold Clark Group Head of People, sponsors of the Leading Apprenticeship/Graduate Programme award, said this week: "Congratulations to all the nominees on reaching this stage of the awards. This means that your business is doing outstanding work through apprentice and graduate programmes. As nominees, you are leaders in your field and an inspiration to other businesses. This category is particularly close to our hearts as an organisation because we know how much value graduates and apprentices can bring to the business. Not only can we pass on our knowledge and experience to them, but they bring in fresh ideas, making sure our business never becomes complacent and is always striving for new levels of excellence."
