Believe it or not I was in the audience for Scottish Leaders Debate (ITV3 / STV) before the election for the Scottish Parliament
I asked Alex Salmond "Would it be a good idea to make it a condition of any company recieving a Scottish Government contract that the contractor has in place an apprenticeship scheme with a ratio of apprentices to tradespersons?"
The first minister agreed, and added it could be extended to cover any firm getting grants from the Scottish Government. He said something like this clause would have to be made to have 25,000 apprenticeships per year in Scotland for the next 5 years (manifesto commitment by Labour and SNP)
I will keep an eye on it and feed back
There may be a hint of progress
