The Royal Regiment of Scotland will be running a one day open day Thurs 16 July 15 at Dreghorn Barracks, Edinburgh, for Training Providers working with young people Not in Education or Training. My team, 1 SCOTS, alongside our Reserve battalion, 6 SCOTS, have been successfully running a five day package with a range of youth groups and training providers including, Ingeus, West Lothian Youth Action Project, Tomorrows People and Street League across the Lothian and the Borders. During each session there is an element of military training to provide an insight into the Army but they also teach core employable skills such as; team work, communications skills, problem solving, taking responsibility, health and well-being and developing leadership qualities. The courses are open to all young people from 16 – 35 who are keen to participate in something a little different and has been very well received to date.
Our open day hopes to showcase this exiting opportunity that we can provide to the young people you work with. Below are come photos of a similar course we ran for the Edinburgh College Sport Department along with an outline of the Open Day. Dreghorn Barracks (DHB) is located just off the Edinburgh bypass post code EH13 9QW.
If any pupil is interested and would like more information you must speak to Mrs Hamilton by 26th June!
