Technology Scotland

Join us for a unique masterclass event focused on developing young talent within the technology and engineering sectors.

University of the West of Scotland

It is well understood that access to skills (recruitment, development, and retention) is a major barrier to growth within the technology and engineering sectors.Recruiting young talent, those direct from education (from school through to university), is often a challenge, particularly for smaller organisations. Limited bandwidth often results in a tendency to seek experienced technical professionals who can ‘hit the ground running’ and provide positive impact in a short period of time. Such people are in short supply and come at increased cost, creating further challenge for smaller organisations. However, there are alternative approaches.This masterclass, delivered in partnership between Technology Scotland and CeeD (Centre for Engineering Education &amp; Development) , will focus on opportunities to efficiently develop young talent. Our expert panelists will discuss best practice approaches to nurturing new entrants to the jobs market and highlight some of the support available. Topics covered will include:•	Apprenticeship programmes•	Funding support for talent development•	Engagement with colleges and universities•	Skills development/training processes•	Company cultureConfirmed speakers:•	Mage Control Systems•	Skills Development Scotland•	University of Glasgow•	Developing the Young Workforce•	Santander A﻿genda0900	Arrival – Tea &amp; Coffee0930	Welcome- Alastair McInroy, CEO, Technology Scotland- Joe Pacitti, Managing Director, CeeD0935	Panel Session:- Janet Menzies, Operations Director, Mage Control Systems - Sheena McBeth, Internship Hub Manager, University of Glasgow - Rose Coyle, Programme Manager, Developing Young Workforce - Colin Buchanan, Skills Development Scotland- Lindsey McArthur, University Relationship Manager, Santander 1100	Coffee Break1130	Roundtable Discussions 1230	Lunch1300	Close
