The programme involves pupils from Deans Community High School, Inveralmond Community High School, Whitburn Academy Armadale Academy, Broxburn Academy, and The James Young High School and involves a two-year programme, designed to complement students' studies.
The programme helps senior pupils to make informed career choices, give them access to real experience through mentoring, provide masterclasses and a paid internship. It aims to link employers directly with local schools and young people in S5 and S6, bridging the talent and skills gap between education and the world of work.
The pupils have embarked on the structured two-year programme which is designed to give vital employability and career management skills, experience of the world of work and networks to will help them in their future success.
Currently 20 local employers from a wide-variety of sectors are supporting the programme.
