Scottish Careers Week 7 – 11 November 2022
Following a successful first campaign in 2021, Scottish Careers Week is back from 7-11 November, with the aim of highlighting the amazing career support available across Scotland.
Great career support helps people find their passion and thrive. It showcases exciting future opportunities in Scotland’s key industries, matches employers with local talent, and can make a real and lasting difference.
That’s why we launched Scottish Careers Week in 2021 and will return this year from 7-11 November. With more events, activities and resources we’ll encourage people of all ages to shape the future and shine a light on the support that’s available across Scotland to make positive choices.
There are a range of events happening that can be accessed nationally including a 20-part DYW Live industry expert programme for pupils. View external events

We are launching the NE My World of Work Treasure Hunt to help pupils to start exploring their strengths, careers and opportunities.
