  • The fees to be paid by the visa applicant;
  • What happens at the end of the 2 or 3 year visa if you decide to retain the individual and sponsor them;
  • Employing international students during their studies
  • A brief update on right to work checks for international students.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) Scotland: The Young Person’s Guarantee: what role can employers play?

Monday June 7th at 12.30pm

In November 2020 Sandy Begbie, CEO of Scottish Financial Enterprise, published the Young Person’s Guarantee, No One Left Behind, which outlined a programme to support young people and ultimately guarantee them a place in education, training or employment within the next two years.

Employers are integral to the design, delivery and success of Scotland’s Young Person Guarantee, and CIPD are working with the Scottish Government to outline how and why organisations should get involved.

Organisers are delighted that Melanie Hill, Director of Social Projects and Sector Education and Mairi Elder, Social Projects and Sector Education Manager from ScottishPower are joining the session to explain why they invest in the young workforce and the return it brings to the business.

ScottishPower have developed exciting and innovative approaches to recruiting and supporting a diverse range of young talent. From schools based delivery, to internships for young people with learning disabilities they provide over 150 opportunities for young people each year.

The session will be an opportunity to hear more about the work they deliver and engage in conversation about why they have chosen to support Scotland’s Young Person’s Guarantee.
