It’s #ScottishCareersWeek and one young person supported by our Vibe service who has been gaining valuable work experience is Zac.
Zac initially completed a part time work experience placement with our facilities team earlier in the year and they were so impressed with his ideas and creativity that he was given his own project to work on.
He said: “It’s been great as I’ve learned so many new skills and I like having my own plan. I’m decorating a room and I’ve got a deadline, so I have to manage my time too, but it’s been good fun and the facilities team help me.”

It’s #TeamTuesday and this week we caught up with Learning and Wellbeing Practitioner Neil.
Q – It’s #ScottishCareersWeek. Tell me about how the Vibe team helps young people to think about their future pathways.
A – We discuss with them what it is they would like to do when they finish in Vibe and then we support them with what they may need. This could include helping to apply for college or university, filling in application forms, writing CVs etc.
Q – Tell me a bit more about how My World of Work helps young people in Vibe.
A – We use the practical My World of Work tool with all the young people in Vibe. We get them to register on the site and fill out the questionnaires to build their individual profile. This helps to sign post roles they maybe suited to and sometimes it could be a profession that they had never thought of. For example, one young person was matched with a Game Tester role which they had never considered but was of real interest to them. It also offers advice, helpful tips and guidance on every aspect of the career journey.
Q – Are there other initiatives in Vibe that help young people prepare for the next steps in their future pathways?
A – There are a variety of different courses we offer in conjunction with partners throughout the year, including cyber security, cross country cycling and RUTS motor mechanics. These give the young people an opportunity to learn new skills. Group activities also help to build confidence and help to develop relationship and social skills, all of which are helpful for their future career pathway development. We’ve also had young people undertake work experience placements within our Bistro and with our Facilities team.
