Scottish Careers Week - resources

Scottish Careers Week 2026 takes place from 9 to 13 November, bringing educators, employers, career practitioners, partners and communities together to inspire people across Scotland to explore their future. 

Under the theme Shape the Future, the campaign will show how career support, learning, work and local partnerships can help people understand their options, build confidence and take their next step. 

Throughout the week, partners are invited to use campaign resources, share real stories, promote local activity and support conversations that bring careers to life in classrooms, workplaces and communities. 

For educators, it is an opportunity to connect learning with the world of work and help young people see the many routes open to them. For employers, it is a chance to showcase pathways, skills and opportunities, and play an active role in developing Scotland’s future workforce.
