School Links 2010/2011

Academic Year 2011/12 sees some small changes in the programme of activities available to school pupils through the School College Link Partnership with Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council.

"Skills for Work" is an exciting addition to the schools curriculum, offering school pupils an opportunity to undertake an accredited Scottish Qualifications Authority vocational course with clear progression routes to full time College courses and/or to employment. These courses are offered in partnership with schools.

For further information specifically on "Skills for Work Awards" please see the SQA Website.
