SBPE 2021 National Launch Event
​
The SBPE National Launch Event features key information which over 880 parents, carers and guardians in Scotland told us was important to them. This includes information about Careers, Jobs, Pathways, Skills and Scotland's Young Person's Guarantee. The event also has a focus on young people with additional support needs through our partner Enable Scotland.

We  delivered some key messages about jobs and skills of the future and how employers and wider partners are involved in guaranteeing our young people in Scotland a positive step after school. We featured information on the Scottish Careers Service with our partners Skills Development Scotland and highlighted how Developing the Young Workforce is bringing the curriculum to life through employer experiences in schools. All of this in a jam packed 26 minute video!

This year our SBPE National Launch Event, took place on Monday 15th November.

Don't worry if you missed the event you can watch it below. 

catch up on our sbpe events from 2020

Our SBPE 2020 provided parents and carers with information about options and pathways for young people, including where they can go to make
informed judgements to support their young person's next steps. With input from a range of experts covering topics such as exams, mental health, apprenticeships, skills development and pathways into industry, the events are also beneficial to young people themselves and aim to provide a message of reassurance and optimism at this challenging time.  You can watch back anytime on the YouTube and Facebook links below.
