Premier Inn has launched a Scottish modern apprenticeship programme with 66 vacancies.

The scheme, aimed at school leavers and conducted in partnership with ITC Academy and Skills Development Scotland, will see those selected given the opportunity to train in all areas of the hotel group.

Audrey Gillespie, Premier Inn regional operations director in Scotland, said: “Together we have created a structured programme with additional practical experiences where apprentices can earn and learn at the same time, get paid the same rate as other team members and secure a permanent position at the end of it.”
