Our colleagues at CILIP recently undertook a process to approve new Apprenticeship standards for the library and information sector (https://www.cilip.org.uk/page/Apprenticeships).

You can view the Apprenticeship standard here: https://www.instituteforapprenticeships.org/apprenticeship-standards/library-information-archive-services-assistant/ 

As the processes and delivery model for Apprenticeships in Scotland are different we are currently assessing whether there is enough demand for us to undertake a similar piece of work here. To help us do this we would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions as honestly as possible. Please note that the answers you give will not be viewed as a commitment to offer apprenticeship positions and are just to give us a general idea of demand in Scotland. 

It would be hoped that should there be demand for a similar standard here then it would be pitched at a similar level (SCQF level 6/7) but this would be assessed.
