APPRENTICE Simon recently com-
pleted his SVQ Level 2 in Aquaculture at Inverness College UHI, and is cur- rently working part-time with Marine Harvest Scotland to develop his skills and build up experi- ence as part of a Modern Apprenticeship scheme. Simon refl ected: ‘The
SVQ Level 2 in Aquacul- ture at Inverness College UHI has given me a solid foundation, helping me understand the condi- tions required to produce
healthy salmon, and enabling me to develop all the practical and academic skills required for a success- ful career in the industry.’ Award
nominator Murray Stark, from Inverness College UHI, commented: ‘Simon Maclel- lan works on one of the Marine Har- vest’s salmon hatcheries, rear- ing salmon from egg to smolts for transfer to marine cages. He discov- ered the job at around the age of 24, having never considered the potential of aquaculture as a career.
