S4 pupils recently attended the Skills Scotland Glasgow event at the SECC in Glasgow to get some information about future careers and opportunities. There were a number of stands and seminars offering careers advice and information on jobs, volunteer opportunities, careers with the armed services, traineeships, apprenticeship schemes and many other opportunities.<\/p>\n

Pupils also had the chance to try many activities, including building a wall, plumbing a tap and wiring a light bulb\/doorbell; using an augmented reality demonstration to look for technical data on cars and identifying the engine and transmission components; working with glass and metal at the City of Glasgow College arts and crafts stand; designing fashion accessories using upcycled materials; driving an articulated dump truck, controlling a tower crane and steering a truck and trailer using Go Construct\u2019s plant and construction simulator; using a raspberry pi selfie roulette app; and trying The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow\u2019s virtual reality laparoscopy simulator as used by trainees surgeons.<\/p>\n
