Fife Council backs Scottish Careers Week to boost skills and job opportunities

Fife Council is supporting Scottish Careers Week, a national initiative running from today, 10th November, to 14th November. 

The event promotes career development and lifelong learning across Scotland under the banner ‘Shape the Future’. 

Councillor Altany Craik, Fife Council spokesperson – Finance, Economy & Strategic Planning at Fife Council, said: “Scottish Careers Week is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the journeys people take into work and the support available to help them thrive. 

“Fife Council is committed to ensuring everyone has the chance to build a fulfilling career, whether they’re just starting out, returning to work, or looking to make a change. 

“We’re proud of the partnerships and programmes we’ve built to make that possible.”

Sharon McKenzie, Head of HR at Fife Council, said there are a wide range of vacancies and career paths with the council. 

McKenzie said: “Our workforce makes a difference in all sorts of ways. They care for our elderly, inspire youngsters in the classroom, keep our parks well maintained, fill potholes, and help secure housing for homeless families. 

“They empty bins, cook school dinners, answer emergency calls on our community alarms line, support businesses to expand and boost the local economy.
