School: Lochaber High School Project: Languages after LHS Level: Gold Date: May 2024
This submission consisted of a range of projects for Gaelic and Gàidhlig learners developed at Lochaber High School covering careers in the media, filmmaking and sport through activities, and many others through a careers event at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig.
These were engaging and informative for learners and allowed them to see the demand for Gaelic in the workplace in a whole variety of careers.
The verification team members were impressed by the range of partners involved in providing such high-quality, hands-on experience for learners of using Gaelic in a work environment, by the quality of transferable skills developed and by the general effectiveness of all the projects. It is clear that learners appreciate, and benefit greatly from, these fantastic employability-related experiences.
The verification team commended the range of employability opportunities currently on offer for Gaelic/Gàidhlig learners and welcomed the plans for future collaboration with colleagues in the languages department and with the school’s EAL and BSL learners.
