Skills Development Scotland have produced a very useful 10-minute Youtube summary of the changes in the local labour market. This video provides a general perspective on labour market changes and may be of interest to parents/carers and pupils. This may help young people think about their possible career pathways and help with choosing their subjects.

On Monday 7th February from 5:00pm – 6:30pm we’re going to be running a Careers in Law, Careers in Banking and Finance, and a Careers in Technology event all simultaneously.

These will be 3 separate webinars of which we have brought together 3 incredible lineups to share insights into the respective companies and hear directly from apprentices within to give you a chance to see what it’s like kickstarting your career at these various global organisations.

Careers in Law
Never before have we been able to bring together so many prestigious law institutions together under one roof and this could possibly be the biggest ever law careers event for schools. We’ll be joined by top industry professionals from 2 Magic Circle firms in Clifford Chance and Linklaters as well as Browne Jacobson, Charles Russell Speechlys, Pinsent Masons and Freeths as they share what it’s like working at some of the most distinguished law firms in the country.
