Career Inspiration
I Can Do Anything Day
Could your story inspire the next generation?
I Can Do Anything Day is a dynamic and motivational event for S2 pupils, designed to open young people’s eyes to the wide range of opportunities available to them and encourage them to dream big about their future.
Throughout the day, pupils hear from inspiring speakers representing a diverse range of careers, industries, and life experiences. By sharing their personal journeys, including the challenges they’ve overcome, the choices they’ve made, and the opportunities they’ve embraced, speakers help young people understand that success comes in many forms and that there is no single path to achieving their goals.
From apprenticeships and university to starting a business, entering employment, or following a vocational route, pupils gain valuable insight into the many options available after school. Most importantly, they learn that ambition, resilience, and determination can take them further than they ever imagined.
This event is about empowering young people to believe in themselves, challenge stereotypes, explore new possibilities, and recognise that their future is full of potential.
Could You Be One of Our Speakers?
We’re always looking for enthusiastic individuals who are willing to share their experiences and inspire the workforce of tomorrow. Whether you’re at the beginning of your career, an experienced professional, an apprentice, business owner, or someone who has followed a unique career path, your story could have a lasting impact on a young person’s future.
By taking part, you’ll help pupils:
- Discover new career opportunities
- Challenge their perceptions of different industries
- Build confidence in their own aspirations
- Understand the skills and qualities employers value
- See that success is achievable for everyone
Every career journey is different, and every story has the power to inspire.
If you would like to become a speaker and help shape the aspirations of young people across Argyll and Bute, we’d love to hear from you.
