Determined to Succeed is the Scottish Government’s strategy for enterprise in education - developing in young people skills for learning, life and work - better preparing them to take their place in a globalised society and economy. Employer engagement is at the core of Determined to Succeed – bringing relevance and context to the curriculum, engaging and enthusing young people and enhancing their learning.
One of the keys to raising levels of employee performance is to create a sense of meaning and this can be achieved by engaging your staff in real life community-based learning experiences. Such experiences enable your employees to develop their skills as they make a positive impact in their local community - increasing their motivation and enhancing your business’ broader reputation – whilst at the same time helping to develop the future workforce to ensure they have the skills, adaptability and resilience needed to play their role in a smarter and wealthier Scotland.
