Practitioners and Advisers webinar, Wednesday 4 March, 4pm – 5pm
Skills Development Scotland’s Evaluation and Research team will present the new findings from views and outcomes from thousands of current and former apprentices across Scotland.
This free webinar will inform all those who work to support, guide, and advise people with career decisions, such as careers advisers, guidance teachers, employability teams, DYW co-ordinators in schools, learning providers, and all those represented in the Career Services Collaborative.
The aim of the session is to better equip everyone who has a role in supporting young people, with the insight and information they need to continue to strengthen their offer.
An employer, their apprentice and the learning provider partner will bring the findings to life, discussing the apprentice experience.
