Employability

Overall aim

This session will connect third sector organisation with key leaders and influencers in the field of employability. The session will celebrate the amazing work that is done by third sector providers and explore ‘where next’ for the employability eco-system in Scotland.

Description

Participants at this workshop will get to hear from and engage with leading thinkers and decision-makers in the field of employability in Scotland and beyond.

Panellists and the event audience will celebrate the impactful role of third sector providers of all shapes and sizes across the country.

We will also collectively explore ‘where next’ on Scotland’s journey to create an employability eco-system that is genuinely person-centred, locally relevant and aligned with national policy drivers on child poverty, fair work and No One Left Behind.

The session will combine a short element of presentation from the panel along with facilitated discussion and audience Q&A.
