Modern apprenticeship (MA) opportunities with ferry operator CalMac have more than doubled over the past two years. As part of the Scottish Government’s Year of Young People, CalMac has focused recruitment efforts on creating new opportunities for school leavers across the communities it supports.
It now employs 23 MAs across deck, engineering, retail and port operation roles, a 130 per cent increase in youth employment opportunities with the company since 2016.
