What we do
Government policy is a primary driver of what we do. A series of
skills and economic strategies interlink to shape our work, making
sure that our services and partnership activity are meeting the
needs of customers and effectively contributing to economic growth
ambitions for Scotland. In support of youth employment, we are one
of the delivery partners for the Scottish Government's guaranteed
offer of a place in education or training for all 16 to 19 year
olds through Opportunities for All.

of Work - our web service which offers the people of Scotland a
unique mix of tools, features and job information to help them
discover more about themselves and the future world of work
