We are pleased to offer a range of full-year, certificated courses that learners anywhere in Scotland can access. These courses are taught via live, online lessons by either e-Sgoil's GTCS registered teachers, further education lecturers or other approved educators e.g. accredited training officers who deliver Foundation Apprenticeships. The aim of the offer is to help schools create personal pathways for their young people, making courses available where they otherwise wouldn’t be, either due to small numbers, lack of local subject-area expertise or both. It is intended that this offer can sit alongside the school’s in-house option choices, to be considered along with other timetabled courses.

Dear Lanarkshire Schools,

Would your pupils benefit from hearing first-hand about exciting careers in the NHS?
Are you looking for real-world insights for your careers events, mock interviews, or employability sessions?

We’re inviting your school to connect directly with NHS Lanarkshire staff through the Inspiring the Future platform which is a fantastic (and free!) way to bring healthcare careers to life for your young people.

Through this platform, you can invite NHS Careers Ambassadors into your classrooms and events.

As our Employability Team is small and demand is high, this platform allows us to maximise our engagement and ensure that all Lanarkshire secondary schools have equal access to our amazing NHS staff volunteers.

Sign up today at:
https://www.inspiringthefuture.org/secondary-and-colleges/

You can then posts your career events and activities and search for NHS volunteers to invite along.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at:
NHSLEmployability.HubTeam@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk

We look forward to working with you to inspire the next generation of NHS talent!

Warm regards,
NHS Lanarkshire Employability Team

Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) is the Scottish Government's national strategy for strengthening links between businesses and education to better prepare children and young people for the world of work. The headline aim of the programme is to encourage and support more employers to engage directly with schools and colleges to recruit more young people and promote diversity in their workforce.

The DYW Regional Group for Lanarkshire and East Dunbartonshire (DYW LED) was established in October 2017 to ensure that young people across the region have work relevant experience and opportunities while still at school. DYW collaborates with schools, to bring industry into the classroom, and give young people first-hand experience of the world of work.

DYW works in partnership with employers, encouraging them to play an active role in shaping Scotland's education system. Employers can then help create and educate the talent pool they need, benefiting from the fresh perspective that young employees bring to the workplace.

Our aim is to create a culture of real partnership working between employers and education, facilitating employers to view themselves as co-investors/co-designers of the school curriculum to deliver the qualifications and skills industry requires.

As a parent of a 13 year old who is undecided on her career choices, I found their event very interesting with lots of varied choices and lots of things that my daughter hadn't thought about

A fantastic & worthwhile event. I learned information that can only be found outside the university prospectus.

It's been a pleasure working with you and the young people of Scotland are lucky to have you.

Never has there been a more crucial time than now to focus on the skills development within young people.

Providing a learning environment where; visibility of skills, meaningful discussion and reflection on skills, and the opportunity to profile skills experiences, will support young people with their ability to understand, recognise and articulate their skills development. Adopting this as a natural part of everyday learning teaching will empower young people to be - successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors - ultimately allowing them to reach their fullest potential throughout their learner journey and beyond.

This toolkit has been developed through consultation with educators and other partners to create a suite of resources that will support practitioners embed skills in a manageable and sustainable way.

This approach is not mandatory and the toolkit is provided as a resource for those who would like support, are struggling for time or ideas, or who are looking for some inspiration and guidance as they develop their own approach to embedding skills across the whole curriculum. Please feel free to use them as you would like.

We have developed the following resources:
