Legal Careers Events Invitation: Wednesday 24th of February at 6pm

The University of Strathclyde Law Society is hosting a series of speakers of the coming weeks. These are designed to showcase the careers available to students studying law. Many of our committee members left school to begin studying law at university without a full understanding of the careers open to them upon completion of their studies. Therefore, we would like to invite your students to our events to understand what a potential career in law could mean for them.   We understand it may seem a little daunting to attend a university event while still at school, however, we think it would be great for your students to discover the possibilities that a career within the law holds, prior to committing to their studies. There is no obligation for them to turn cameras/microphones on or participate in any way, additionally the event will not be recorded. Broadly, we think it would be an interesting opportunity for students to hear from those that are established within the legal field and hear of their real experiences, unlike a university open day or generic careers session.  The first of our events is taking place on Wednesday 24th of February at 6pm. Titled, ‘What can I do with my Law Degree?’, your students will have the opportunity to hear from four established professionals within the legal field. Our guests will discuss the path to their career, as well as answer questions. We look forward to welcoming: Sheriff Tony Kelly Matthew McGovern Fiona Armour Catherine Dyer CBE  We ask that your students register their interest using the following link – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/what-can-i-do-with-my-law-degree-tickets-141818999445?utm-medium=discovery&utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&aff=escb&utm-source=cp&utm-term=listing

Career Opportunity: Bell & Bain Ltd

Dear young people… While your focus is currently on getting the best grades, many of you will be casting an eye to your career path. I’m contacting on behalf of Bell & Bain Ltd, a book and journal printer in the Southside of Glasgow, seeking conscientious and ambitious individuals of all genders to join our workforce, to join an award-winning, historic company which encourages personal and professional growth, with opportunities of progression and promotion available to those who apply themselves. AIM I am reaching out to you as a recent university graduate who is an advocate of young people joining Small or Medium-sized Enterprises. There is a world of career opportunities in SME’s, many of which do not receive the same advertising or publicity as College or University as an option for (ex) pupils. I am heading a recruitment push for young people in the Glasgow area. Clearly this is a period of great professional uncertainty for many young people, and these temporary changes to academic structures will be compounding this. We are hoping to alleviate this uncertainty for a few successful candidates. OPPORTUNITY We are offering varying opportunities to a handful of young people: from factory work, to costing and estimating – to generally working up in the printing industry. Education is hugely important across the board, but for many, further and higher education is not always the answer. Many feel unsure as to what decision to make – right until the end of their school tenure – with the current COVID situation obviously adding to this. We can provide you a path. As a company we continually invest in the youth of today. This is evidenced by a workforce full of young people, apprentices (both current and qualified), and a management team which includes young individuals. THE COMPANY As a company, we have been growing exponentially over recent years, so it is a genuinely exciting time to be getting involved. In existence since 1831, we are among Scotland’s oldest companies, and are one of the top independent printers in the UK. Even through the last year of pandemic and lockdowns, business has remained almost identical to our record-breaking 2019 year – we are happy to offer jobs that bring stability, variety and opportunity. If you are ambitious and eager for success, then please contact me with a copy of your CV. Good luck! T:   0141 649 5697 M: 07568555107 E:   gfitzgerald@bell-bain.co.uk W: www.bell-bain.com Yours sincerely, Gregory Fitzgerald Business Services Manager Bell & Bain Ltd.

Nuffield Research Placements 2021 Online applications are open

Nuffield Research Placements 2021 – Online applications are open The Nuffield Research Placement Scheme is aimed at the current 5th year pupils who will be sitting their Highers in 2020 and who are studying any Science, Technology, Engineering and/or Maths (STEM) and Social Science/Humanities subjects at that level. The placements help increase confidence and improve key skills including practical, communication, report-writing and presentation skills. Placements also provide students with excellent experiences & skills to include on CV’s and personal statements. By working with professional scientists and engineers in a real-life environment, the students gain an invaluable insight into a wide variety of careers. This is a wonderful opportunity for your students and we hope you will promote the scheme to them. The scheme, now managed by STEM Learning, aims to widen access, focusing on economic and social deprivation, and have found that students who come from lower income families, or whose parents have not attended higher education, benefit most from the scheme. In light of this, the scheme is now only open to these students (and priorities are placed on students eligible for the bursary). This means the charitable funding is targeted where it will have the greatest benefit. In 2020 although we did not have face-to-face placements we did still offer all students who had successfully applied virtual/online projects with supervisors and complimented these with research skills building modules (62 students in Scotland successfully completed projects). This year we are going for a blended approach and we are hoping to have face-to-face projects where possible (2-3 weeks, possibly staggered over a longer period), or if needed again virtual/online projects only, where government guidance and individual institutions and organisations policies permit or restrict. We will be implementing the research skills modules again and hope to roll these out to all successful applicants, even if they do not receive a project offer, and boost this with other skills opportunities, so most applicants will now benefit. *There is an eligibility checker on the application system so that students can check whether they are eligible or not, before beginning the application. https://www.stem.org.uk/nuffield-placement-tool To be eligible to apply for a Nuffield Research Placement, students must: • Be over 16 years old • Be in full-time state-funded education in the UK • Have at least 5 National 5 / GCSEs (or equivalent) at Level B / 6 or above, including maths, a science subject and English (or another humanities subject) • Be studying one or more Scottish Higher, A-level (or equivalent) in science, technology, engineering, economics, geography, psychology, computing, statistics or maths • Be able to spend several weeks (4-6) of their summer holiday working on research modules and the…
