Prospects Events are hosting the second Skills Scotland event this Autumn. Attracting over 7,000 young people aged between 14 -19 it allows them to gain access to employers, training providers, sector skill bodies, voluntary organisations, colleges & universities and anyone else who may help shape their decisions and affect their life choices.

This year we have the support of The Scottish Government, Skills Development Scotland and Learning & Teaching Scotland all of whom have identified Skills Scotland as a unique opportunity to influence young minds about their future; a dynamic, interactive event that is about inspiration & future engagement as well as direct recruitment - to support policy framework areas such as 16+ Learning Choices and the senior phase of the Curriculum for Excellence.

1. Cost effective way to raise your profile / plan for the future.
2. Engage and meet with thousands of young people in one venue.
3. Inform young people of what you do / how you operate and what training opportunities you provide. Tell them of the skills that your industry need now and in the future.
