Scottish Languages Employability Award - Multilingual

The Scottish Languages Employability Award (SLEA) - Multilingual, new for 2025, celebrates and acknowledges schools that adopt inclusive practices. By recognising the value of all languages and integrating them into the school’s ethos, schools can create a dynamic, inclusive, and culturally rich learning experience for all learners, reinforce the value of multilingualism in the world of work and prepare learners to thrive in a diverse and interconnected world.
