Small group discussions with industry experts helped to prepare S6 pupils for their next steps.

The pupils, who were sub-divided into small groups each day, rotated round the room, spending 10-15 minutes at each industry representative's table.
Feedback indicated that the activity was hugely beneficial. It demonstrated how valuable it is for pupils to have access to a variety of industry representatives from the same sector.
Several of the industry representatives who participated extended an invitation to the young people to visit their place of work.
If taken, this opportunity stands to further deepen the pupils' knowledge and understanding by allowing them to experience the working environment.
