An advisory group has been established to help the Government address Scotland’s failure to equip young people for work.
Sir Ian Wood will be a founding member of the Scottish Government’s Developing the Young Workforce National Advisory Group.
The oil magnate chaired the Commission for Developing Scotland’s Young Workforce, which found Scotland is “simply not preparing or equipping young people for the world of work”.
Young oil and gas workers have been invited to an industry first event which will focus on ‘soft skills’ which could help them succeed.
Skills including networking, communication and presentation skills will be discussed by members of three of the oil and gas industry’s professional societies.
