Conversation with the Commissioner & SCAPP Winter Social
3-5pm, Wed 4 Dec 2024
Edinburgh City Centre
Calling all widening access and participation practitioners!
SCAPP and Scotland’s Commissioner for Fair Access want to hear your views on the key issues affecting the sector and the support practitioners need to ensure your practice is making the most impact as we all work towards the 2030 CoWA targets.
Join us for ‘Conversation with the Commissioner’ – a new SCAPP event providing an opportunity for practitioners to directly engage with Scotland’s Commissioner for Fair Access, Professor John McKendrick. The Commissioner will share his views on the priorities for practitioners moving forward and you will have the opportunity to feedback and ask questions of the Commissioner via Q&A.
This is a free event but spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Register to attend here by 5pm on Tues 19th November.
The sign up form will also ask about your interest in attending an informal social from 5-7 after the event. Please indicate your interest in this to help the SCAPP Team identify a suitable location to accommodate numbers.
SDS publish Skills Assessment Reports and Offer supporting webinars
Skills Development Scotland have published their Regional Skills Assessment (RSA) and Sectoral Skills Assessment (SSA) reports for 2024 on their website.
There have been a number of enhancements to the suite of products this year including:
- The inclusion of region-specific Green Evidence within the RSAs.
- A new standalone report on Scotland’s Labour Market Drivers
- The RSA Summary Infographics have also been developed to provide additional measures down to local authority level. They cover the economy and current and future demand in local areas across Scotland. These can be found through the RSA reports or on the RSA website here.
To complement these publications, SDS will be hosting a series of one-hour webinars, to explore the latest regional and sectoral labour market insight. These sessions will offer the opportunity to ask questions and hear from SDS Regional Skills Planning Leads and Sector Managers.
