What is #NoWrongPath?

Launched in 2017, #NoWrongPath is a  social media movement led   by  Developing   the  Young Workforce  which provides inspiration and reassurance    to young people receiving their exam results. 

We recognise that some young people may feel disheartened by their exam results. We are aiming to demonstrate that many people in interesting job roles across Scotland may not have taken a straight, obvious or traditional path to get there - that there is   #NoWrongPath.
​
#NoWrongPath aims to show young people the options that are available to them and that   exams results are not necessarily the key to unlocking future success.
