Fair Work, Skills and Training Secretary Roseanna Cunningham will meet energy industry staff in Aviemore today to mark the launch of a “refreshed” skills strategy.
It aims to encourage firms to “retain and invest in skills to ensure future prosperity”.
The Scottish Government said yesterday its new Skills Investment Plan was developed through “extensive consultations with employers and stakeholders”.
It added: “Themes identified in the plan include promoting careers to young people, more modern apprenticeships and improving gender equality.”
Ms Cunningham will meet apprentices and other employees of Aberdeen company Hydrasun, which has a specialist manufacturing facility in Aviemore.
The firm recently invested £3million in upgrading the Aviemore site, with backing from Skills Development Scotland and Highlands and Islands Enterprise.
