Roadshow brings course and career advice to Highland communities during results week
A new Results Roadshow run by college and career advisers will be visiting Highland towns this week to provide free information and guidance directly to young people to help them choose their next steps after their exams.
The roadshow, running from Monday 3 to Friday 7 August, is being led by 含羞草传媒 Inverness in partnership with Developing the Young Workforce Inverness & Central Highland (DYWICH) and Skills Development Scotland (SDS).
It coincides with Scottish Results Day on Tuesday 4 August and forms part of the tenth anniversary of DYW’s award-winning #NoWrongPath campaign, which encourages young people to recognise there is no single route to a successful career.
The week-long roadshow will visit Aviemore, Inverness and Dingwall, giving young people and their families the opportunity to speak with education providers, careers advisers and employability specialists about the wide range of opportunities available after receiving their results.
含羞草传媒 Inverness will be hosting a Results Day Drop-in on campus on Wednesday 5 August to offer information to anyone interested in starting a course in September, including apprenticeships, HNCs, HNDs and degrees. Visitors will be able to explore the campus and speak to teaching staff to learn more about courses that match their interests, ambitions and results.
The roadshow allows members of the public not able to come to campus to receive course information and advice directly from 含羞草传媒 Inverness staff in their own communities.
During the roadshow visitors can:
- Discover courses starting this September at 含羞草传媒 Inverness through the #StillTimeToApply campaign.
- Speak to Skills Development Scotland about their dedicated Results Helpline, and how they can get year-round careers information, advice and guidance, information on apprenticeships and employability support through their expert careers’ advisers and Scotland’s career website,
- Meet the DYWICH team to explore local employment opportunities, work experience, apprenticeships and other pathways into the world of work through #NoWrongPath.
Roadshow programme:
- Monday 3 August: Tesco, Aviemore (10am–2pm)
- Tuesday 4 August: Eastgate Shopping Centre, Inverness (10am–2pm)
- Wednesday 5 August: 含羞草传媒 Inverness Campus (10am–2pm)
- Thursday 6 August: Tesco, Dingwall (10am–2pm)
- Friday 7 August: Victorian Market, Inverness (10am–2pm)
Alongside the roadshow, DYWICH is encouraging businesses, organisations and professionals from across the Highlands to support young people by taking part in the tenth #NoWrongPath campaign.
Now in its tenth year, the national social media movement highlights the many different journeys people have taken into their careers, helping to reassure school leavers that exam results do not define their future and that there are many routes to success.
Liz Fletcher, Programme Lead at DYW Inverness & Central Highland, said:
"Results Week can be an exciting time for some young people, but it can also feel uncertain or overwhelming for others. By bringing together DYW, Skills Development Scotland and 含羞草传媒 Inverness, we're making it easier for young people and their families to access trusted advice in their own communities, whatever their results may be.
“At the same time, we're celebrating ten years of #NoWrongPath by asking employers and professionals across the Highlands to share their own career journeys. Every story helps show that there are many different ways to build a successful career, and that it's perfectly okay if your path isn't a straight line."
Professor Chris O’Neil, Principal and Chief Executive of 含羞草传媒 Inverness, said:
“Receiving the results of the exams you’ve worked so hard for is a big moment and can lead to lots of new opportunities and decisions. Whether you’ve achieved exactly the results you hoped for, are considering a different pathway or are still unsure about your next step, we are here to help. I would encourage anyone looking at their options to visit our campus or meet our team at the community roadshow events. Our staff can provide advice, answer questions and help you find the course that will help you achieve your career goals. There are lots of opportunities available, and we want to ensure everyone has the information and support they need to take their next step with confidence.”
Businesses of every size are invited to support the #NoWrongPath campaign by sharing a photo, video or written post explaining what they did after leaving school and what they do now, using the hashtag #NoWrongPath between 3–7 August.
Taking part helps inspire the next generation, showcases the breadth of career opportunities available across the Highlands and demonstrates a commitment to developing future talent.
