They also had the opportunity to engage with a wide variety of exhibitors and industry vendors, learning more about renewable energy, sustainability, and future careers in science and engineering.

We are recruiting a new cohort of S3 Youth Ambassadors as part of the Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) Glasgow programme. This initiative gives pupils the chance to develop leadership skills, represent their peers, and play an active role in shaping employer engagement across the school.

The programme requires 4 meetings throughout the year; however, you will also be invited along to optional events throughout. This programme is aimed at the new S3 pupils (26/27) who are eager to make a difference!

If you are interested and would to put yourself forward for this opportunity, please come see me in the partner room or email me at gw23linningclaireest@glow.sch.uk

Claire Linning, DYW Coordinator

We are pleased to be running our Virtual Summer School again this year. This programme offers students interested in studying law the opportunity to learn more about the subject and ask questions about legal careers.

This year, rather than running the Summer School over four consecutive days, sessions will take place across four mornings over two separate weeks:

• Monday 8 June
• Tuesday 9 June
• Thursday 18 June
• Friday 19 June

Students can register their interest by emailing careers@lawscot.org.uk. We will then circulate an MS Form for formal registration. Once registered, participants will receive two Zoom links: one for the sessions on 8 and 9 June, and another for 18 and 19 June.

What we’ll cover

Our programme is currently being finalised, but the first session, Introduction to Law and University Applications, will be of particular interest to your students. We’ll cover UCAS applications, SAAS, and more!

The other days will have a focus on what is happening now in the legal profession, taking students on a career journey exploring the unexpected and interesting areas you can practice law in Scotland.

Logistics

If multiple students from your institution are participating, we have found in previous years that reserving a classroom or suitable shared space is helpful. This supports accessibility (whether joining via a shared device or interactive screen) and allows students to take part in breakout discussions together.

I will be hosting a CV, job application & interview support drop in session on Wednesday 15th April, 1PM-3PM in the Partner Room. If you can not attend this session but would like support, please email me at gw23linningclaireest@glow.sch.uk to arrange an appointment.

***Please remember to sign in at main office on arrival***
