This event will provide an excellent opportunity for young people interested in a career in the creative or digital industries to learn more about apprenticeships as a possible career pathway.

On Wednesday 21st May from 2pm – 2.30pm, Young Scot will be hosting Creative Apprenticeships: LIVE – a live broadcast for young people to promote and showcase Creative and Digital Apprenticeships during Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2014. We know that young people in S1 – S3 are starting to think about potential career paths and subject choices, so we are providing this event to make them aware of all options open to them. We’re also delighted to be joined by Cabinet Secretary for Training, Youth and Women’s Employment, Angela Constance MSP.

This will be a 30 minutes informal panel discussion live, with experts and former and current MAs answering questions directly from young people about Creative and Digital Apprenticeships and careers. The questions can be sent to us in advance by tweeting us @youngscot and include the hashtag #ScotMAWeek14 or questions can be tweeted during the event itself. As well as answering questions, our panel will be talking about their experience and journeys as Modern Apprentices.

Taking part couldn’t be any easier. Please just let us know if your organisation or school is planning to take part in this event by emailing HEATHERM@YOUNGSCOT.ORG and at 2pm on Wednesday 21st May, you simply have to go to www.youngscot.org and follow the information provided.
