Scottish Education Awards

Determined to Succeed - Enterprise in Education Award - Best Business Partnership

Members of Kirkcaldy High School and MGt PLC with their Best Employer Partnership Award

Kirkcaldy High School & MGt PLC

MGt, the largest local employer, became disaffected with what was seen as a stream of pupils seeking jobs, and then not being able to demonstrate the basic commitment needed to hold down a job. 

The Business Ready programme between MGt and Kirkcaldy High School aims to prepare pupils to enter work. Initiatives include work-shadowing on MGt sites, job application skills and interview preparation.
