Naeve Brannan - Determined to Succeed

Maggie Broadley, Craft Development Manager, is delighted to offer a week long Gallery Assistant placement to local  pupil Naeve Brannan. 

Craft Town Scotland is working alongside the Ayrshire Chamber of Business and Commerce, who have been organising placements for local secondary school pupils in businesses throughout Ayrshire as part of the Determined to Succeed campaign.

The campaign aims to help inspire future generations of employees, employers, business leaders and entrepreneurs by instilling an enterprising attitude in today's young people. Through Determined to Succeed, the Scottish Government's strategy for developing enterprise in education and More Choices, More Chances, the strategy to reduce the number of young people not in education, employment or training, organisations can get involved with young people, giving them the skills and drive to create a smarter, wealthier and fairer Scotland. 

"The Scottish Chamber of Commerce are delighted to be working with Determined to Succeed to help develop the skills of our young people. I hope that schools and businesses utilise every possible opportunity to introduce new ways of engaging, making it exciting and worthwhile to all. Through partnership working with employers our young people and educational staff will become more aware and informed of the job opportunities and skill requirements needed to succeed”

Liz Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Chamber of Commerce.

Naeve will spend time in the gallery and craft studios and will be coming along with Maggie on some inspirational ‘craft’ visits.  We’ll let you know how she gets on at the end of next week!
