Ready Steady Work - Moving Into Employment
23rd June 2013
DSRL is committed to the socioeconomic development of the Caithness and Sutherland area, and in particular to improving the employment prospects and “job-readiness” of local school leavers. As part of this commitment, we have contributed to the development of an innovative, industry-led event to provide young people with the practical skills and information required to support their success in moving into employment in all sectors.
The event has been designed in conjunction with STEMpoint North of Scotland and North Highland College. It is open to 4th, 5th and 6th year pupils, from Wick, Thurso and Farr secondary schools and will include a combination of interactive sessions, industry visits and presentations.
Hosted at ETEC, North Highland College over a one week period during the summer break, the “Ready Steady Work!” event will provide young people with advice on CV preparation, job search skills, interview preparation and an insight into the types of jobs currently available and likely to emerge in the near future.
