Glasgow Regional Opportunities for Work (GROW) is an innovative programme aimed at connecting young people between S3 and S4 with meaningful insights into the world of work and the career opportunities available across various industries, including housing.
How does it work?
The programme runs over two years across the whole Glasgow City Region. Currently, they are focusing on Year 1 and looking for employers to host at least one workplace visit.
Year 1: From January 2026, groups of 10, S3 pupils will visit your workplace between 10.00am - 2.00pm, on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, to gain insights into your sector through interactive activities. Support in developing day plans for activity is available and a youth worker will transport and accompany the pupils and lunch, if not provided, is covered by the GROW team.
Year 2: Pupils will have the opportunity to complete a one-week individual work experience placement.
Why get involved?
We would like to invite members to promote housing as a career of choice and showcase the various opportunities and the benefits a career in the sector has to offer. By taking part you will:
✔ Inspire the next generation
✔ Build your brand and community connections
✔ Identify future talent
✔ Make a real impact in your region
If you can provide four hours of time and would like to sign up or arrange a call to discuss more, please email grow@glasgowchamberofcommerce.com and one of the team will be in touch.
