Parents and carers can learn more about the power of having meaningful careers conversations with their young person on a free webinar later this month.
Careers Advisers, Kay Hume and Mhairi Galashan, from Skills Development Scotland will talk about the key things to remember in steering career conversations. They will offer hints and tips as well as introduce parents and carers to My World of Work.
Following their online presentation, there will also be an opportunity to ask the Advisers questions to support your career conversation planning.
All S5/6 Vocational students, please note that courses finish on Friday 17 December and re-start on Wednesday 5 January.
If you are under 16 or cannot work on other subjects from home, please see Miss Crosby in order to be accommodated in school during your usual vocational time during W/C 20 December.
Skills Development Scotland and National Parent Forum of Scotland are arranging a session on Foundation Apprenticeships for parents and carers on Tuesday 14th December from 7pm-8pm.
This session gives the opportunity to find out about Foundation Apprenticeships including who they’re for, how they work and their benefits. During this one hour session we’ll talk through the value and equivalency of the qualification in terms of SCQF levels and UCAS points. We’ll also share pupil journeys and how Foundation Apprenticeships helped them progress onto a job such as a Modern or Graduate Apprenticeship, college or university. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions at the end.
