Connecting you with young people across the North East of Scotland

There are lots of different ways to support young people - and lots of great reasons for doing so.

Every employer is encouraged to get involved, whether you’re a sole trader with only an hour to spare, or a large corporation with a team of volunteers who wish to provide regular, structured support.

Our role? To make it easier for you to connect with your future workforce.
