The changing youth

labour market

• the youth labour market has changed massively over the last couple of

decades

• there are fewer entry-level jobs for school leavers and much more competition

for them

• there are many and varied routes into work for young people; including Modern

Apprenticeships, college, university or further training

• the average person has 10 – 15 jobs in their lifetime

• 80% of jobs are not advertised

• this means young people have to be very well prepared for the world of work

• for localised information on job trends in your area (including employment rates

and useful local contact information) have a look at SDS’ website:

skillsdevelopmentscotland.co.uk/in-your-area and put in your postcode.

Useful resourcesProduced in partnership with National Parent Forum Scotland, and written by parents

for parents, this guide to Career Education in Scotland sets out the opportunities

your child will have and details SDS’ input at each school year. Download it at:
