The Apprenticeships in Scotland team attended the Youth Employment Conference2012 on Thursday 6th September in Edinburgh. Overall the event was a success and it was a fantastic opportunity to network and see how we could best use our resources to help tackle youth unemployment.
The conference consisted of many inspirational speeches with
Jim Duffy from Entrepreneurial Spark really standing out. Another inspirational
speech was by Paul McKelvie for UKCES. We felt that his speech truly conveyed
the issues at hand and came up with solutions that could really work for youth
employment.
The Apprenticeships in Scotland Team all thought that the
Modern Apprenticeship panel did especially well, and represented young people
in Scotland accurately.
The main message attendees should take from this conference
is to take action. Youth Employment can be tackled together through action,
following through on solutions and by listening to young people in
Scotland.
A special thank you to Karen Todd who helped the Apprenticeships
in Scotland team to attend the conference, it wouldn’t have been possible
without her help.
