This research was commissioned by the Scottish Government to explore opportunities to embed Fair Work First principles in the Modern and Graduate Apprenticeship offer in Scotland. The Fair Work Action Plan (2019) sets out how the Scottish Government will deliver their ambitions on fair work across Scotland. Fair work is central to Scotland’s Economic Strategy and can deliver a range of benefits to employers, employees/workers and the Scottish economy.

The research objectives were to consider whether the Fair Work First criteria require adaptation in order to be applied to Modern and Graduate Apprenticeships; to formulate initial recommendations to support the implementation of the Fair Work First criteria; and to identify potential approaches to ensuring that apprenticeships remain an attractive offer following implementation of the Fair Work First criteria.
