How does it work?
Young people take part in 15 hours of employment skills workshops. The workshops cover aiming high, preparing for work, doing applications, what you are passionate about, and more. The training is delivered by Youth Scotland staff, and filled with interactive games and activities to keep energy high. There will be five courses running in 2024 in different locations and on the dates below:
- 22nd – 24th April – Glasgow and the surrounding areas – now closed
- 10th – 11th June – Stirling University (delivered as a residential and serving all Scotland placement regions) – now closed

After the training, young people start a paid work experience placement with KFC or another provider. The placements last four weeks, 13 hours a week. Once placements are complete, young people will have the opportunity to interview for a job at KFC, with a real chance of getting hired.
