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.

By working together, Skills Development Scotland and partners can make careers support more visible, practical and accessible for people of all ages - whether they are at school, leaving education, changing direction, returning to learning or looking for their next step. 

  • Share the campaign through your own channels and help people find support, resources and events. 
  • Promote local activity that helps young people, job changers and adults explore opportunities and pathways. 
  • Tell real stories that show how careers support, partnership working and workplace insight can help people shape their future. 

Scottish Careers Week is a shared platform to inspire action, strengthen partnership and help people make confident choices about their future. Join the conversation using #ScotCareersWeek26.
