SDS Winter Briefings

Report Summary

The Skills Development Scotland Winter Briefings are available to download. These are produced to help keep partners and stakeholders informed of our activities and highlight how we work in partnership to achieve our shared objectives. There is a national edition as well as bespoke editions for each local authority area.

Using feedback from SDS colleagues and partners, we have improved the content and layout of the briefings.

This time the local editions focus on youth employment - how we are working with local partners and employers to support young people into positive destinations (training, learning or employment). They feature a welcome from the local area manager, local mid-year performance highlights, a local case study and relevant news articles. 

The national edition focuses on our work with industry to support the skills needs of employers and individuals - a vital input for economic growth and jobs in Scotland. It features a welcome from our Chair John McClelland, national mid-year performance highlights, an industry case study and relevant news articles.
