Raising Primary aspirations for a career in care

24/9/2018

 
Coalsnaughton Primary School received an insight into the care sector by Gwyneth Morrison from Mears Group. This took place as part of the 'Primary Aspirations' programme which aims to give earlier intervention at primary school level, helping pupils to discover what sectors and career pathways pique their interest. The session had a positive outcome for both the pupils and Gwyneth, who was pleased to be able to share with young people that a career in care is a positive destination and a rewarding and fulfilling career.

Hospitality, Food & Tourism Takeover Day 2018

11/9/2018

 
Young people from across Stirling and Clackmannanshire visited Forth Valley College yesterday for a flavour of what the Hospitality, Food and Tourism industries have to offer. It was all hands on deck as local businesses shared their knowledge and expertise with over 180 pupils who donned their aprons to take part in cooking challenges and interactive demonstrations facilitated by Forth Valley College and personal chef Mark Heirs; explored the mixology of a 'Mocktail Masterclass' with Cromlix to the mixology of what makes a great salad dressing with Forth Environment Link and The Food Assembly, and heightened their senses with a 'Sensory' workshop from Caledonian Produce. Claire from Egglicious, alongside Henrietta 1, 2, 3 and 4, gave insight into what it is like to be a young business owner whilst a keynote address was given by Fergus Wood on the opportunities within Tourism.
"I loved the interactive activities" said Isabelle from Dunblane High
Friend Rowan also commented: "I never expected there were so many jobs within this industry."

DO ONE THING

4/9/2018

 
Have you ever worked with education? Would you like to? It is easier than you think.

If you can give up an hour or two of your time then all we need is for you to “Do one thing!”

By getting involved you can motivate, inspire and stimulate a pupil by giving them an opportunity to benefit from your knowledge and on the job practical skills.

You can also help them develop their soft skills such as self-confidence, assertiveness, communication, inquisitiveness and creativity.

Can you make your 'one thing' a work placement?

Nationally only 27% of employers offer work placements however development of career management skills in young people at this stage is crucial.
"54% of 18 year olds in forth valley are in higher or further education"
