The Food, Drinks and Textile industries in Scotland are thriving and present a wide range of opportunities for our young people. A number of our pupils have gone on to build successful careers in Food and Textiles.

In the Food and Textile Technology department we are keen to develop the young workforce. We have developed strong links with local colleges and universities and regularly attend graduate fashion shows, front of house workshops and interactive open days with our pupils. Our Fashion and Textiles pupils also attend Future Textiles workshops at Dumfries House.

We have recently facilitated work experience placements with a range of industry partners including Glasgow City College, Scottish Opera, Finsbury Foods and Dandelion Cafe.

Our S4 Practical Cookery pupils attend the Royal Highland Show which showcases developments in the food industry from suppliers and retailers all over the country.

All of our S3 Practical Cookery pupils and S6 Elementary Food pupils have the opportunity to obtain their Elementary Food Hygiene certificate, which is a requirement for all those employed in the food industry.

If you have a particular interest in work experience or pursuing a career in Food and Drink, Hospitality or Fashion and Textile Technology, please contact your F&TT teacher or visit us in the F&TT base and we will help you any way we can.
