Employability workshops 

Our free half-day workshops are for young people eligible for free school meals. They are ideal for students in Year 7 - 11 (P7 - S4 in Scotland), giving them a great start on their journey to become work ready. 

During our sessions, students will hear inspiring career stories from various professionals, take part in a team challenge and work on their presentation skills.

The workshops:

• Introduce students to transferable employability skills
• Build awareness of different careers, job options and pathways, including apprenticeships
• Provide insights into what employers are looking for
• Connect students with prospective employers
