The inclusion of the eight business administration placements in this year’s intake marks the first time Morrison Scotland has offered any non-trade based apprenticeships.
Willie Docherty, managing director of Morrison Scotland, said: “This programme provides a good deal for everyone. It enables Morrison Scotland to recruit talented young people whilst giving them valuable skills and the opportunity to learn from our experienced workforce.
“I would also like to add that the young people from North Lanarkshire who have applied for posts with Morrison Scotland are a credit to both their parents and the school system; its just a pity I couldn’t offer them all an apprenticeship.”
