Sam Foster, who is an IT Apprentice in my IT Service Desk team, won Microsoft Scottish Apprentice of the Year - at an event recently at the Scottish
Parliament. Sam beat off 450 other nominated apprentices to win the
prestigious title.

| Sam Foster - Microsoft Scottish Apprentice of the Year |
Our first three IT Apprentices joined IT Services in September 2012 (including Sam) - and it’s been a huge success. Since then, we recruited another four IT Apprentices in 2013 and I’m delighted that we’ve received approval to recruit a further four later this year.
It’s really
important we give these young people the best opportunity and training we can -
and I’m delighted that everyone in IT Services has embraced this - as
these young people really benefit from being supported and mentored by a wide
range of very talented and experienced staff.
QA (who provided Sam's training in year one) made this great film about him last month.
