Schools & Further Education
Engaging with our future workforce to encourage community involvement in the project and to facilitate opportunities for skills, education and training programmes with local schools by delivering enterprise initiatives to raise aspirations and provide young people with the life skills to achieve success.
Summer School
Summer School is a Community Benefits initiative that provides opportunities for s4 – s6 pupils from Lanarkshire to become involved with the Monklands Replacement Project.
During a week-long programme, pupils are supported by members of the project team and NHS Lanarkshire colleagues to gain workplace experience and professional knowledge across a wide variety of careers in either construction or healthcare. Participation in the Summer School empowers our young people to develop key employability skills and gain demonstrable experience that can support their transition from school-based learning to either the workplace or further education.
