Explore Your Future: Build Skills (and Celebrate Scottish Employers)

Previously available only to Scottish students, this national event now offers all students across the UK the chance to build core employability skills and connect with top employers. I wanted to send this out as recently, a lot of educators have asked for wider less specific content in our opportunities, for students who have no firm career destination in mind – and this ticks that box! The general theme links to Science but it has so much additional content that would suit a range of students.

Students will:
• Meet with leading employers such as Scottish Water, NHS Scotland and more
• Build desirable skills to boost their CVs
• Take part in engaging sessions exploring careers and pathways
• Discover exciting opportunities available across the UK

Placement Details:
• Dates: 12 November – 14 November 2025 (3 days)
• Time: 09:30 – 15:00
• Age Range: 14–19
• Sector: Employability and Skills Development
• Application Deadline: Applications may close early if volumes are high
