At George Nicolson Decorators, our apprentices continue to work hard and have a positive attitude both at college and on site. Our current apprentices, Nathan, Sam and Tierney are pictured above. The ongoing encouragement, development and nurturing of the young talent we employ will ensure they are kept engaged, work up to their true potential and learn important life skills.
Co-ordinated by Skills Development Scotland (SDS), the Scottish Apprenticeship Week campaign aims to encourage more employers to take on apprentices and to recognise the vital skills generated, as well as the value of work-based learning that apprenticeships bring to employers across the country.
During Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2026 (2nd – 6th March), SDS shines a spotlight on the power of apprenticeships to create careers, build businesses, grow the workforce and get real returns for the economy.
Looking forward, George Nicolson will continue to strongly focus on the importance of the development of young people. Through passing on skills to apprentices to create a new generation of skilled workers we can ensure a continued increase of the skill level within our company and indeed the Painting and Decorating industry as a whole.
We will be commencing with our annual apprentice recruitment campaign in Spring so follow us on our social media and check out the news articles on our website nearer the time for any forthcoming apprenticeship opportunities.
