Skills Development Scotland has recently undertaken research designed to hear the views of young people in secondary school. Questions focused on young people’s views on careers education and advice, and their future career aspirations. The research aims to inform policy, enhance careers services, and support young people to acquire the skills, guidance, and opportunities needed to achieve their career goals.
The sections on young people’s views on skills, apprenticeships, reasons for leaving school and future career aspirations are likely to be of particular interest to youth work teams. Summaries for the information gathered can be found here:
