 Are you a parent or carer who has questions about the impact Coronavirus may have on your family?
If so, Parent Club Scotland have developed some information on protecting yourself and others and guidance on what to do if staying home with children. You can read more on their website, here. Parents and carers may also like to know that BBC Scotland are now providing extra educational content for children to help them learn at home while the schools are closed. BBC Bitesize content, specifically for pupils studying in Scotland, will be shown on the BBC Scotland channel and will also be available through BBC Bitesize.  As we all know, schools across the country are closing today and are not expected to re-open before the summer holidays.
We would like to wish all the pupils who are finishing school today the best of luck in the coming weeks and months whether they are competing coursework for national qualifications; leaving school to move into training, education or employment; or completing their learning before moving up an academic year and in some cases onto secondary school.  Our Jobs of the Week are now available to view.
This week includes several seasonal vacancies that may be suitable for a school leaver or student. There are also permanent opportunities with local businesses in a range of areas. For full details of the vacancies, including how and where to apply, click on the link below.  As part of Scottish Apprenticeships Week we have shared the experiences of those currently undertaking an apprenticeship, but what happens once your apprenticeship is finished?
Orkney Construction Training Group (OCTG) have allowed us to share a video they have made which focuses on apprentices moving on in their career - see the below from the OCTG.  In the final of their series of interviews for Scottish Apprenticeships Week, BBC Radio Orkney have heard from a local woman who is undertaking a Graduate Apprenticeship.
Anja Hall is currently undertaking a Graduate Apprenticeship in Business Administration through Robert Gordon University. She is employed by Orkney Distilling Limited, where she works full-time while studying for her degree.  Jobs of the Week are now available to view.
This week, in celebration of Scottish Apprenticeship Week, we have details of four different apprenticeship opportunities, including a chance to take on a Graduate Apprenticeship with a local construction company. For full details of the vacancies, and how and where to apply, click on the link below.  In the second of their interviews celebrating Scottish Apprenticeships Week, BBC Radio Orkney have spoken to two members of staff from NHS Orkney about their Modern Apprenticeships.
NHS Orkney offer two different types of Modern Apprenticeships, the first is clinical and covers areas such as wards, out patients and day surgery, while the non-clinical apprenticeship focuses on careers in administration, estates, finance and IT.  To celebrate Scottish Apprenticeships Week, we are highlighting the diversity that makes work-based learning good for individuals, employers and the economy.
Throughout the week, BBC Radio Orkney are featuring interviews with local people who are undertaking apprenticeships along with their employers, who are supporting them through the qualification. |
