Scotland’s colleges have a tradition of working with young people to develop their skills and aspirations. Working with the Scottish Executive, colleges are supporting its strategy to reduce the proportion of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET) in Scotland.
Brian will discuss how colleges are addressing issues identified in the document 'More Choices, More Chances' to provide young people with the best possible start to adult and working life.

Though you might want to spend a couple of minutes on this one – introducing yourself, what is SFEU, why you are so pleased to be here, why it is right to for you to be here Something about the question posed by the conference, something about the extent of the challenge which can be daunting, something about the lead of the Scottish Executive in taking this forward The social mission of colleges – something about the diversity of colleges, something about how they work in the most challenging areas of society, something about their inclusiveness, something about their reach Message – NEET is a college issue
