There’s no single route to success
From 3–7 August 2026, #NoWrongPath brings together people across Scotland to share their career journeys and inspire young people receiving their results.
What is #NoWrongPath?
#NoWrongPath is a national, award-winning social media campaign led by Developing the Young Workforce (DYW).
Launched in 2017, the campaign encourages people across Scotland to share their career journeys — showing young people that there is no single “right” path after school.
Each year, during results week, individuals, employers and organisations come together to highlight the many different routes into careers, from apprenticeships and college to university, employment and beyond.
Why it matters
Results week can be a time of uncertainty for many young people.
#NoWrongPath helps by:
- Reassuring young people that results do not define their future
- Raising awareness of the range of pathways available
- Sharing real, relatable stories from across Scotland.
Careers are rarely straightforward. That’s what this campaign is here to show.
How to get involved
Taking part is simple — and your story could make a real difference.
From 3–7 August 2026, we’re inviting you to share your career journey and help inspire the next generation.
