Housing association inspires students at careers day

NG Homes staff attended the Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) event at All Saints Secondary School in North Glasgow to promote housing as a rewarding career.

Project manager Greg Cann and housing officer Joy Henderson joined other organisations, sharing insights about potential career paths and future education options.

NG Homes staff discussed their backgrounds and career routes, offering students a glimpse into the various roles within the housing sector.

Project manager Greg Cann said: “It is always good to get out into the community and meet local young people and their teachers.

“These careers carousels are a fantastic way for us to educate and inform youngsters of the role of housing associations and what we as a local employer offer.”

The event is part of a project supporting local high schools with employability initiatives, in partnership with the DYW.

Principal teacher of developing the young workforce, Mrs Farooq, said: “Having local employers such as NG Homes attend is invaluable to our event, as they are based within our local community as well as having had some of our former pupils as employees.

“This collaboration not only provides students with real-world insights but also fosters a sense of community and continuity.”
