Scottish Languages Employability Award - Green

The Scottish Languages Employability Award (SLEA) - Green is awarded by SCILT and was introduced in 2024. The SLEA - Green seeks to encourage the development of a global citizenship approach to employability in the languages curriculum.

The Award aims to recognise and reward partnerships in which languages, global citizenship and intercultural competencies are fostered to prepare local learners for their role as part of a global workforce.

Get Involved

The Scottish Languages Employability Award – Green can be achieved at an initial three levels, with a fourth level for partnerships who achieve continued innovation. Achievement in the SLEA – Green is rewarded by a certificate sent to the schools involved and by showcasing the successful project on the SCILT website and social media channels.

The Award itself remains valid for two years after it is awarded. During the time period described above, the school and its partners will be entitled to display the relevant Scottish Employability Languages Award – Green and its logo in their correspondence and other relevant places (e.g. in e-mail footers, school handbooks or social media bios).
