The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the City of Edinburgh Council on being awarded the David Kennedy Excellent People Award at the annual COSLA Awards for its Construction Skills pathways work at 2025’s COSLA Annual Conference; notes that the Construction Skills pathways project was recognised for its work in building brighter futures for young people through improving outcomes for learners by getting more school leavers into jobs within the construction industry; believes this not only improves attainment through relevant and engaging courses but also responds to labour market needs; understands that the Construction Skills pathways is being delivered across schools in Edinburgh, including Currie Community High School and Wester Hailes High School in the Edinburgh Pentlands constituency, and acknowledges that the delivery of the pathways has been achieved through partnership working with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors, Historic Environment Scotland, Scottish Traditional Building Forum, Kier Construction, Balfour Beatty and Edinburgh College.
