Learn to Earn within our Meaningful Work Strategic Pillar
Our Learn to Earn employability service addresses the need to support young people into training, education, and meaningful work. We offer a range of opportunities including accredited courses, tailored next-step support, employer engagement, and youth-led ambassador teams who help evaluate and shape future services. This holistic approach empowers young people to build sustainable career pathways and actively contribute to improving the systems that support them.
Skills Forge
Our flagship 10-week employability course
Skills Forge runs three days a week for young people up to age 25, offering next-step support to help them reach their goals. delivered in our vibrant youth centre, it provides hands-on experiences in trades like joinery, digital and STEM fields, health and wellbeing, plus qualifications in employability and personal finance—all designed to inspire future career pathways.
Employability Ambassadors
Empowering youth voices to shape and strengthen employability services through local partnerships and active engagement
Our Youth Ambassador Programme empowers young people with lived experience to shape employability services across Perth & Kinross. Ambassadors engage directly with local networks and decision-makers, ensuring youth voices influence policy, partnerships, and provision. Through evaluation, advocacy, and collaboration, they champion youth-informed approaches that improve opportunities and outcomes for their peers in training, employment, and enterprise.
Networking & events
Working together creates success and positive outcomes
We believe success is built through collaboration. Our Learn to Earn service actively engages in networks and partnership opportunities, connecting young people with employers, educators, and community stakeholders. We include youth voices in local systems and encourage shared learning to build stronger, more connected employability support shaped by everyone’s input, not just ours.
