You don’t need any experience or knowledge to apply, we are keen to hear from young people with a variety of experiences and from all sorts of backgrounds and communities.
Your perspective matters. Join us to help shape better pathways into work and influence how businesses support young people in the future.
We are happy to make reasonable adjustments to help you take part based on your needs. All young people are welcome at Young Scot including those with disabilities, neurodiversity, queer young people and ethnic minorities.
We’re keen to collaborate with young people who can sometimes have more barriers to taking part in opportunities due to their personal circumstances. This includes ethnic minorities, disabled young people, young carers, care-experienced young people, and young people who live in low-income households.
This application form is also available as a word document and we also accept verbal applications made using video or voice recordings. If you need any support with signing up, please contact us at YSHive@young.scot and we’ll be happy to help.
Sign ups close on Sunday 9th of November.
