We run a number of Vocational Training programmes

If you want to get to work right away, but still want a qualification to prove you can do the job properly, then Youth Services can help.

We run a number of Vocational Training programmes which allow you to work and learn at the same time. We find a placement provider (an organisation to train with) and sort out your training. This could mean going to college on day release or having an SVQ assessor visit you at your placement.

You need to be referred byCareers Scotland.  Contact them on 01786 446150.
