Applications for the 2026 intake of the Hospitality Apprenticeship Scotland programme are now closed.
Our partner hotels and the HAS team will meet during the final week of May to review all applications and discuss progress within each partner’s recruitment process. This ensures that every application is carefully considered alongside current hiring needs across the programme.
Following this, successful applicants will be contacted directly either by a member of the HAS team or by one of our partner hotels to discuss next steps.
We would like to thank everyone who applied for their interest in the programme and the time taken to submit an application.
Applications are welcomed from individuals already working within the hospitality sector as well as those who are completely new to the industry and looking to begin their career. The programme is also open to school leavers who are interested in developing their skills and gaining practical experience within a professional hospitality environment. Where possible, applicants may be encouraged to undertake a short work trial with their chosen employer prior to formally commencing the apprenticeship, allowing both the employer and the apprentice to ensure the role is the right fit.
No formal qualifications are required in order to apply for the programme, making it accessible to a wide range of candidates who are motivated to build a career in hospitality. However, apprentices must be under the age of 25 at the official start date of the apprenticeship.
Throughout the programme, each participating hotel provides a dedicated workplace assessor who supports apprentices in their day-to-day development within the property. In addition to this hands-on learning, the formal academic training and qualification delivery are provided by City of Glasgow College, ensuring apprentices receive both practical experience and structured education as part of their apprenticeship journey.
