A flavour of your role will inspire for Scottish Careers Week
Get ready, Ambassadors: Scottish Careers Week is back.
It's our chance to show the next generation what makes the food and drink industry a truly rewarding career destination where they can genuinely make a difference.
This year's Scotland-wide campaign, led by Skills Development Scotland (SDS), runs from Monday 10 to Friday 14 November.
The central theme is “Shape the Future”, and it aligns perfectly with our industry. From sustainability and net-zero goals to innovation in production, a career in food & drink is a hands-on opportunity to shape Scotland's economy and reputation.
Remind young people that in our sector:
You can make a difference, whether it's through sustainable sourcing or product innovation, the work matters.
It’s rewarding and they get to work with world-class produce and proud traditions.
There's a job for everyone. From farm to fork, chef to scientist, marketing to engineering - all skills are needed.
Remember, there’s lots of information and real-life inspiration in the Find Your Future in Food resource.
Take part
Join the #ScotCareersWeek25 conversation by sharing some advice for people who want to get into our industry.
This can be anything you like – maybe it’s something you wish you’d known sooner or a top tip for getting work experience. Whatever your advice is, it'll help someone shape their future.
You can share your advice in any way you want. It could be a short video clip, photo or written piece – get creative! Make sure you tag My World of Work and include #ScotCareersWeek25.
