Morton in the Community Helping Young People Gain Employability Skills

Lodged by Stuart McMillan (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 21 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes Morton in the Community’s Get Started with Football initiative, which aims to help 16- and 17-year-olds develop essential employability skills and earn coaching accreditations at the same time; understands that the Ton’s charity arm has worked with local high schools and Skills Development Scotland to identify individuals that, it believes, would benefit from taking part; understands that throughout the three-week course, participants worked on earning their SFA introduction to coaching qualification, as well as pre-requisite qualifications that centre on child wellbeing and mental health; further understands that participants also completed a customer service course and worked on their CVs and cover letters; believes that football, and sport more generally, can be a great way to engage people with a range of topics, including employability; understands that The Prince’s Trust helped Morton in the Community fund these sessions, and that they are looking to build on this and deliver more sessions in the future; thanks the charity for what it sees as its commitment to having a positive impact on the local community, and wishes them all the best as they continue to deliver a range of projects in Inverclyde.
