#PowerOfAnHour Campaign
At Moray Council, we are committed to ensuring that every young person, regardless of background, has the opportunity to kickstart a rewarding career and we are delighted to be delivering the Career Ready programme again.
Career Ready pairs workplace mentors with senior secondary students to give an insight into the world of work and help them prepare for life after school. The programme involves regular one-hour meetings between mentors and students and a four-week paid internship.
Mentoring a young person is a profoundly rewarding experience that benefits both the mentor and the mentee.

"Career ready mentor has been a really great experience, it has given me the chance to give back and a sense of pleasure seeing my mentees grow and become young adults ready for work. I would really recommend giving it a go, it can take up a bit of time but the rewards far outweighs this extra little effort."
Please do not hesitate to get in contact if you would like to know more about volunteering and, share this message far and wide with your colleagues across the organisation so that we can continue to support the programme and make a difference to Moray’s young people.
