A group of pupils from Kirkwall Grammar School have been given an insight into early childhood development to help them gain knowledge and skills that will support them in their future career.

Staff from the OIC’s Early Years team have been visiting the school to deliver the Solihull Approach for Young People - Understanding Yourself and Parenting.  The course gives an insight into early child development and looks at how babies and teenagers’ brains develop, how relationships are built between child and adult and the importance of play as a tool for learning.

Our Jobs of the Week are now available to view.  This week’s vacancies include apprenticeship opportunities with R Clouston Ltd. and NOV, part-time opportunities with Print Orkney and the OIC and a Ground Security role at Kirkwall Airport.

Apprenticeships are a fantastic way of gaining a qualification whilst working, earning money and gaining experience, if you would like to learn more about the different apprenticeships available in Orkney, visit apprenticeships.scot, or speak to a Careers Adviser or your Guidance Teacher if you’re still at school.

If you are successful in securing an interview for any of these jobs, you may be invited to attend an interview online or over the phone.  While this may seem more nerve-wracking than a face-to-face interview, it is important to remember that the principles of preparing for an interview are the same, regardless of the format.  For advice on preparing for an interview, and tips for an online interview, check out the Interviews section of our ‘Planning for the Future programme, here: https://www.dyworkney.co.uk/interviews.html
