Opportunities for All was officially launched by the Scottish Government on 1 April 2012. This policy outlines the guarantee that every young person between 16-19 should have the opportunity to remain within and participate in learning. Opportunities for All seeks to build upon the More Choices More Chances strategy and 16+ Learning Choices to ensure that partners continue to work together to reduce youth unemployment and ensure that all young people have the opportunity to move into and sustain positive destinations.
Within Aberdeen, we will continue to work closely with local partnerships to ensure that resources are targeted at young people who are in most need of support in moving into employment, further education or employment.
16+ Learning Choices seeks to ensure that all young people, well in advance of reaching their statutory school leaving date are made an offer of appropriate post-16 learning. This development is central to the delivery of Curriculum for Excellence in realising the Scottish Government's commitment to improving participation rates and learning post-16. It is a key strategy to ensure that we increase the proportion of school leavers in positive and sustained destinations on leaving school.
