📣🌿The Youth Advisory Group wants your opinion 🫵

Take part in the rural work experience survey via the link in our bio.

"We are the Countryside Learning Youth Advisory Group, a panel of passionate young people aged 14–25 from across Scotland.

We work alongside Countryside Learning Scotland as Young Ambassadors, promoting rural education, careers and training opportunities in secondary schools. 👩‍🌾🚜🌿

Together, we help shape how rural education is delivered, provide input on programmes and qualifications, and even get access to funded training opportunities.

Right now, we’re exploring which sectors in rural business are the hardest for young people to get into – and why.

We want to understand what barriers young people face and what could be changed to make rural career opportunities more accessible and achievable for young people like us.

💬 So, we’d like to hear your opinion.

What do you think could be done to improve work experience and opportunities for young people in rural Scotland?

📋 We would be very grateful if you could take the time to complete our short survey and share your views with us.

Your experience and ideas could help us understand what needs to change and how we can make these opportunities better for future generations. 🌱

Please share this post with any young people, schools, youth groups or organisations who might be interested.

Welcome to the team - meet Suzy, our new Regional Coordinator for Grampian 💫

We would like to introduce the wonderful Suzy to the CLS team! Already delivering amazing work across the region with the first year of Rural Employability Scheme all go 🌿

Her background is in journalism, storytelling and event facilitation. After years of writing about the disconnect between the skills employers need and the skills young people can bring to the workplace, she wanted to move from talking about the problem to doing something practical about it. She is particularly passionate about helping young people discover opportunities they may never have considered — especially careers that get them outdoors, working with people, animals, land or nature rather than spending their lives behind a screen.
