Glasgow Training Opportunities

Youth Scotland, in partnership with Glasgow City Council (EVIP), through funding received from the Scottish Government’s Cashback for Communities fund, is running a programme of training events in Glasgow for youth workers and the young people they support. The following training courses are offered:

Awards Induction Training

Dynamic Youth Awards (for ages 10 -14) and Youth Achievement Awards Awards (age 14+) offer a fun and user friendly approach to recognising and accrediting young people’s achievements. This one day training session will provide workers with an understanding of the Awards and how they can be introduced into youth clubs and groups. It is a requirement that anyone looking to use the Youth Achievement Awards with young people first complete this training course.

Bored Meetings – Training for young people and youth workers

Bored Meetings is a resource designed to help develop the skills and confidence of young people to participate in decision making processes within formal situations or meetings.

Training for young people

is aimed at young people aged 14-18 and will benefit all young people with various levels of experience, from those who regularly attend meetings to those who have never participated before.

Training for workers

will take youth workers through the resource and show them how it can be used in their own groups. This will also include details of how young people’s involvement in the training activities can be accredited through the Youth Achievement Awards. Please note: those attending this workshop will receive a free Bored Meetings Pack and will be expected to deliver Bored Meetings training to a group of young people.  

For dates and venues of training, please download the flyer below.
