Stirling High School pupils given housing career insight

Almost 1,000 Stirling High School pupils gained an insight into a career in housing from sector experts recently.

Representatives from Link Housing and C~urb were on hand to provide students with information and insights into Link Group at their Future Pathways event.

The S2 to S6 pupils also found out about further education opportunities during the careers event, which was arranged by Stirling High School to encourage pupils to consider their choices of further education courses or future employment opportunities.

Link Housing Head of Housing Services Tricia McManus said: “One of Link’s commitments is to promote housing as a career through this education-led initiative.

“It was a pleasure to meet the young people and tell them about a career in housing as it is such a rewarding and valuable profession.”

C~urb Factoring Coordinator Andrea Mina added: “Housing is a dynamic and rewarding career destination for school leavers and graduates.

“It was great to raise awareness about the skills and qualifications required for these roles and to expand young people’s career horizons.”

Andrea Mina, Lara Turner, Property Management Officer and former Graduate Trainee, Tricia McManus, and Tsega Spence, Link Housing Locality Manager for Falkirk, participated at the event on Monday 26 November.
