So I found 11 work from home jobs with little to no experience required and the first one on the list is going to be a roadside support specialist. Have you ever helped one of your friends when their car is broken down? Well imagine if you could do that for a living and you don't even have to go yourself. You send other people to do it for you. In this career you'll be providing assistance to vehicles that have broken down or experienced issues while on the road and the best thing is you don't even have to go yourself or even be in the area. You can do this all from the comfort of your home and you'll make around $44,000 a year. So some of the pros of this one are the opportunity to actively find solutions and demonstrate problem-solving skills. You get to interact and network with a wide variety of people in the vehicle industry and you get to gain valuable entry-level experience that you can use in the future to get an even better job. Some of the cons of this one are there is going to be a high demand for quick response times. There is potential for dealing with very stressful situations and sometimes of course you're going to have to deal with angry and titled customers. But overall I'm going to give this one an opportunity score of 7.5 out of 10. Now the next one might be great for you if you want to turn your passion for traveling into a full-blown career and that's going to be a remote travel agent and this is a professional who expertly crafts dream vacations for their clients all while working remotely and bringing the world to their fingertips and being a remote travel agent is kind of like being a virtual tour guide who helps people plan and book their trips all from the comfort of their home. Now typically remote travel agents make about 55 thousand dollars a year but many travel agents can make 50, 100k even up to 250 to 500 thousand dollars a year and on top of that you get a bunch of travel discounts and you can even go on free sponsored trips and the reason for that is because different travel related companies want you to use and recommend their products. Now some of the higher paid travel agents will actually specialize in a certain area. So for instance if you live in an area that a lot of people like to vacation to this can be an especially good opportunity for you. So some of the pros of this one are in some cases you can get paid to travel, you also get really good experience in a great industry and you can make a good amount of money. Some of the cons of this one are it can take a while for you to make a name for yourself, it can be stressful at certain times of the year and some travel agents will make much more than others but overall this is a great one I'm going to give it an opportunity score of nine out of ten. The next one on the list might be great for you if you've ever had fantasies of being a mobster collecting debts that people owe them and that's going to be a collections specialist. And this is a professional that's responsible for managing delinquent accounts and collecting money that is owed to different companies and being a collection specialist is kind of like being a persistent hunter tirelessly tracking down elusive prey to bring them back into the fold of financial responsibility and restore harmony to the kingdom of accounts receivable. I'm sorry. No but all joking aside this is one of those careers where you're going to be annoying a lot of people so you're definitely going to have to have thick skin and in this career you'll make around $25 an hour and there's usually commissions. So some of the pros of this one are you get to work on your skills in communication as well as persuasion and you get a lot of experience in the finance industry so it can be great experience for jobs down the line. Some of the cons of this one are you do have to have thick skin because you're going to have to have challenging conversations with people there can be high levels of stress and you have to be very familiar with regulations and make sure that you're compliant but overall I'm going to give this one an opportunity score of 8.5 out of 10. Have you ever wanted to market great products to people without ever having to do the hard work of creating the product itself? Well affiliate marketing assistant might be a great career for you to look into and this is a career where you can embrace your inner smooth talking commissions collecting guru and strategically maneuver through the digital jungle turning clicks into cash and in this career you're going to be promoting products and services online and you'll get commissions through driving traffic or sales to the affiliate partner's website and this is kind of like being a digital sales detective cleverly planting breadcrumbs across the internet to lead curious customers to the treasure trove of great products that they've been yearning for all while earning a cut of the spoils and I like this quote by Neil Patel he's actually one of my favorite digital marketers where he says affiliate marketing is an excellent opportunity if you truly believe in the value of the product you're selling because many times you can make money off of something you would probably recommend anyway now I agree with Neil Patel on this and I also recommend that you do not ever promote a product that you don't believe in and as an affiliate marketing assistant you can make about $49,000 a year and there's a lot of room for growth in the future so some of the pros here are there's a very low barrier to entry there's lots of networking opportunities because you're going to be collaborating with big brands and you have the potential to learn how to actually earn passive income some of the cons here are there is going to be a steep initial learning curve there's a lot of dependence on external factors for instance the google algorithm seems to change every six months to a year and so you're also going to have to constantly be adapting and learning new technologies and strategies so because of the fact this one is pretty difficult to learn I'm going to give this one a seven out of ten opportunity score but it can't be a really good one to learn especially if you want to start your own business in the future the next one on the list might be great for you if you have the talent for spotting other people's talents and that's going to be a remote recruiter or sourcing specialist this is kind of like being a professional talent matchmaker unleashing your inner cupid and creating a love connection between job seekers and their dream companies and large companies understand that there's probably nothing more important than getting the right talent so here's a really good quote for instance nothing we do is more important than hiring and developing people at the end of the day you bet on people not on strategies and that was a quote from Lawrence Bossidy who is the former COO of General Electric and recruitment sourcing specialists make about $58,000 a year so some of the pros of this one are there is a ton of potential for growth this is also probably one of the best careers you could get into when it comes to networking and you're going to collect a lot of job market knowledge some of the cons here are it can be high pressure to meet certain targets you have to have excellent time management skills and you have to be good at handling rejection I fed up with this world overall I'm going to give this one an opportunity score of nine out of ten now the next one might be great for you if you're somebody who likes setting up events and that's going to be a remote events coordinator and in this position you need to be a master multitasker who brings people together virtually meticulously planning and executing exciting events conferences and gatherings through an online platform and basically your job is to ensure that everybody has a blast without having to leave their home and with the pandemic remote events absolutely exploded there were literally remote events that millions of people attended and it's not an easy thing to do to make sure that the technology will hold up there's good infrastructure and everything happens on time and in this position you'd expect to make about $60,000 a year so the pros of this are there is a variety of different types of work each event is going to have its own challenges and requirements you also get to see your vision come to life and you get to unleash your creativity some of the cons of this one are it can be very high pressure if the event doesn't turn out well you are likely going to get blamed in some cases you might have to work long or irregular hours as well and you have to be in constant communication with a bunch of different stakeholders so you're constantly going to be talking to clients vendors and participants to make sure that everything goes to plan but overall I'm going to give this one a 7.5 out of 10 opportunity score the next one on the list might be great for you if you're someone who's really passionate about fitness and that's going to be an entry-level personal trainer and this is another one that got incredibly popular during the pandemic most people could not go out and go to the gym so they started working out in their houses and in this position you would be guiding and supporting individuals and achieving their health and fitness goals virtually now there's many different ways you could do this you could do group coaching you could do one-on-one and there's also many different companies you can work with and in this career you'd expect to make about $55,000 a year according to Glassdoor so some of the pros of this one are you get to make a positive impact on society fitness and health are incredibly important in so many different aspects of improving somebody's life you'll also in many cases do the workouts yourself so you get to keep yourself in really good shape too and many people are passionate about fitness so you get to do something that is your passion some of the cons of this one are at first it can be difficult to establish yourself and get your first clients another con is you are somewhat limited in how many people you can work with one-on-one and it is a physical career so if you get injured it might be very difficult for you to do it so because of the fact that it is a little bit harder to get started with this one than a lot of the other ones on the list i'm going to give this one a 6.5 out of 10 opportunity score now the next one on the list is one of my favorite careers that i've seen people literally go from like zero experience to making a hundred thousand dollars a year in a single year and that's going to be an appointment setter and this is basically somebody who's responsible for coordinating and arranging meetings for people who are going to sell what's known as a high ticket product now there's many different types of appointment setters they work in the finance industry they work in technology etc but basically what you're doing is you're finding qualified leads and you're sending them to the closer which is the sales person so this will likely involve a lot of talking over dms emailing and doing short phone conversations and the best thing is you get a commission if those clients end up buying the product now this is one where you definitely want to make sure you work in the right industry because some appointment setters get paid a lot less than others so appointment setters in the u.s according to glassdoor make around 45 000 dollars a year so the pros of this one are the ability to develop strong interpersonal skills a chance to gain valuable industry knowledge and the potential for personal growth and self development for instance this can be one of the best careers to get into if you want to start your own business in the future some of the cons of this one are you can deal with challenging individuals in some cases you are going to have to cold call people and you need to have thick skin because you're going to deal with a lot of rejection but overall i'm going to give this one a nine out of ten opportunity score another one that's very similar to this and specifically it's in the technology industry is going to be an entry level business development representative and basically you're going to be working with businesses that sell products to other businesses this is also known as a b2b business and a lot of the time you're going to be working with software companies specifically and so your job is to basically know everything there is to know about your product also know a lot about the industry in general and then network with other people within that industry and then you want to basically figure out what problems they're having and then see if your product is a good solution for them and in many cases a lot of the time you'll tell your company hey a lot of our prospects are having this same problem and the company might actually come up with a solution for it so this is not like a high pressure sales type of situation it's not like a sketchy used car salesman or anything like that it's more about relationship building and business development representatives make about seventy four thousand dollars a year and because of the fact that you make extra from commission there's potential to make a lot more than that so this is one where i've actually interviewed a bunch of people on this channel that have gotten into it without any college degree or previous experience for instance delo was a stay-at-home mom who was going to college and she was able to land a one hundred thousand dollar a year job in less than two months and they all use the company called course careers really great company a friend of the channel as well i know the ceo troi he's a great guy and he actually has a free training which i'll put down in the description as well as the pinned comment below so some of the pros of this one are the potential for very high earnings a very low barrier to entry and the ability to work flexibly and remote some of the cons of this one are it can be somewhat of a high pressure type situation can also be difficult to establish yourself at first and the whole sales process just isn't for everyone but overall i'm going to give this one a nine point five out of ten opportunity score the next one on the list might be great for you if you have the incredible ability to find flaws in everything and that's going to be a professional tester and it's exactly what it sounds like you're basically going to be testing different products as a profession and typically you're going to be rigorously evaluating different software and you're going to be trying to find flaws bugs or issues that need to be addressed and testers make about sixty five thousand dollars a year so some of the pros of this one are the ability to contribute to the development process you get to work in probably the best industry which is technology and this is a great thing to put on your resume for experience because there's going to be a lot of opportunities in the future some of the cons of this one are it can be incredibly repetitive you are going to have pressures to meet deadlines because typically they want to roll out the software as fast as possible and it requires excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills overall i'm going to give this one a seven point five out of ten opportunity score now the next one on the list is a career where i've seen people make it to the seven figure level and that is going to be insurance sales now most people are not going to make it to seven figures of course but if you're a top one percent performer you can make it there and even if you're a top ten to twenty percent performer you can probably make it to the six figure level this is basically where you assist individuals and businesses on which insurances would be best for their needs and i found this funny little factoid that pete rosengard is actually the person who thought up calling death insurance life insurance right so that was a pretty smart thing to do and yes you can make it to the six or seven figure level but even entry level insurance agents make about fifty two thousand dollars a year so some of the pros of this one are you get great skill development this one is great for networking you can also work in different industries and become very knowledgeable about them and so this can be a great way to transition into other industries down the line some of the cons of this one are there is a very steep learning curve you're also going to have limited initial income and you're going to have to be very good at dealing with rejection and like i said sales is not for everyone but overall i'm going to give this one an opportunity score of 8.5 out of 10 i think the best sales type job to get into is likely going to be business development representative because i think there's more opportunity in the technology industry and i think it's easier to get the hang of it now if you're looking for a work from home job and you want to find specific companies i actually made a video about 17 work from home job companies that are almost always hiring and you can check that out by clicking right here


Good morning. The first item of business is General Questions and at question number one, I call Neil Bibby. Thank you, Presiding Officer. To ask the Scottish Government what funding it will provide to support the work of the Enver Clyde Task Force, including in relation to investment in facilities at Fergusham quotes. Cabinet Secretary, Neil Gray. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Ministers participate in the work of Enver Clyde Task Force to examine new ways of enabling a successful and sustainable wellbeing economy to thrive in the area. The task force joint chairs submitted a letter to the Minister for Small Business, Trade and Innovation setting out a number of investment proposals. Those proposals will be given detailed consideration by the Scottish Government. Separately, a formal request for capital investment has been made by Ferguson Marine Port Glasgow, which is currently undergoing due diligence, once concluded ministers will update Parliament should further investment in Ferguson Marine be agreed. Neil Bibby. I thank the minister for that answer. The GMB trade union supported by parties across this chamber have made the Government aware of an impending deadline for placing a new plating line order at Ferguson's. Workers and management are clear that this investment is essential to improving efficiencies and securing a future for the yard. Failure to do this urgently will result in many more months of delay. The Inverclyde task force was established because the former finance secretary believed that it could make the case for levering in funding to Inverclyde. Recent job losses make that need even greater. Will the Government commit today to investing facilities at Ferguson's and additional cash to kick-start Inverclyde's economy? If it won't today, when will a decision be made? I thank Neil Bibby for that question and his interest in this area. I am sure to meet union officials later this afternoon with Stuart McMillan, who has them in Parliament today, to discuss some of those issues as well as others. He will be aware of the state aid and subsidy control issues that are at play with regard to the request, but we continue to scrutinise that and look to do everything that we can to make sure that the yard is supported within the powers and resources that we have that we are able to continue that support. We will continue to engage, as he would expect, both with the management and with the trade unions to continue that engagement work. As co-chair of the Inverclyde task force, I want to be clear that the recent funding asks from the task force and the funding ask from the cross-party group of politicians regarding Ferguson's marine are two separate matters. That said, the task force has outlined several ambitious projects in Inverclyde. On the issue of the Ferguson marine and the investment, investment would be extremely urgent and important. I would ask the cabinet secretary to update the chamber at the quickest possible time after the due diligence is completed. Cabinet secretary, I thank Stuart McMillan not just for his consistent and diligent work for his constituents both in terms of the task force but also with Ferguson marine but also for his question there. I can give him that undertaking that we will consider this as quickly as possible in terms of Ferguson marine and update him and other colleagues as quickly as we can once that due diligence process has been completed. Separately regarding the task force, as was confirmed by the Minister for Small Business, Trade and Innovation and is replied to the letter from Stuart McMillan and the leader of Inverclyde Council, the Scottish Government will scrutinise the proposals that are assembled by the task force and we will also continue to participate in the work of the task force, offering feedback on the proposals and work with UK Government colleagues who are also involved and have an interested stake. Jamie Greene Thank you. Inverclyde task force is a wider remit to ensure that the region makes best use of all its maritime assets for improved economic prosperity. To that end, can I ask if the cabinet secretary is aware of local campaigners who believe that its port facilities, including in-screen dry dock, are being vastly underutilised and would he be willing to come to Greenock and meet with those campaigners? I thank Jamie Greene for that question. I'd be more than happy to engage with the work that he speaks of to make sure that we're able to see the maximum benefit of the infrastructure that we have in place, both in Inverclyde and the port infrastructure that we have there, in Inverclyde and Greenock, but also across Scotland to make sure that the work that I believe we will be able to enjoy going forward can be enjoyed by as many communities as possible. To ask the Scottish Government what its position is and whether the regeneration plans for Glasgow's Golden Zed will deliver the jobs and opportunities needed to grow the city economy. The Scottish Government supports Glasgow City Council's Golden Zed regeneration plans, as they align fully with our commitment in the programme for government to drive regional economic growth and empowerment. The programme for government also acknowledges Glasgow's pivotal role as a key economic driver in the region and for the rest of Scotland. Those plans will be crucial in fostering growth, generating employment opportunities and enhancing prospects, not only for Glasgow but for the wider region as well. I, too, welcome the investment secured to Glasgow back on the map, as I hope, the number two in the UK list of retail centres that it has enjoyed for the last two decades. However, we are already losing shoppers due to the current state of Glasgow city centre. There are also significant concerns about parts of Suckie Hall Street, given cause for concern, since the ABC went down in the fire, Glasgow School of Art Fire. Will the Scottish Government support my call for a robust economic impact assessment to ensure that there is a viable plan for the Golden Zed with a delivery team in place, because without delivery, we will not see the result that we want? I thank Pauline McNeill for that question and the work that she is doing to engage with Glasgow City Council and recognise the importance of getting this right, of making sure that we have an offering in Glasgow city centre that is relevant to what people are looking for for city centre locations. I understand that the Golden Zed regeneration plans are already based on extensive research and economic analysis, and, although all investment involves an element of risk, I am sure that, once implemented, the plans will have a significant impact on the ability of the city to attract and retain jobs. I am more than happy to furnish her with more details in collaboration with colleagues in Glasgow City Council to make sure that we can realise the potential that is there. Many shops and restaurants have been forced to close in Glasgow city centre in recent years. The British Retail Consortium recently found that footfall in Glasgow was down more than it was in 10 other large UK cities. Another report revealed that footfall was 19 per cent lower than it was pre-Covid. Does the minister recognise that the SNP Council's lower mission zone may be forcing people away from Glasgow city centre? No, I do not. I think that the member helps to make the case for the need for this regeneration work, but I also point to the very clear evidence of businesses that I have been engaged with and those that return business surveys around the areas of key concern for them. They are energy costs, the impact of Brexit on labour market issues and the cost of living crisis, the inflationary impact of interest rate rises, which are having an impossible impact on their trading environment. I encourage the member to ensure that she is directing her focus on the UK Government to ensure that those questions have been answered. To ask the Scottish Government, in light of gas safety week, which takes place this week, what engagement it has had with community safety organisations regarding action to improve gas safety awareness. We provide Scottish Government grant funding and work with our partner, Rospa, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, which has supported and promoted gas safety week for many years. Rospa is very active in the promotion of gas and carbon monoxide safety and represents the Scottish Government's interest in the stakeholder forum of the all-party parliamentary carbon monoxide group. Rospa works with gas distribution network to develop a web hub on carbon monoxide and has just launched two surveys to assess people's awareness for the prevention of carbon monoxide poisoning. We know unchecked gas appliances run a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or explosion, and it is therefore crucial to get appliances checked regularly by gas-safe registered engineers. What action the Scottish Government is taking to encourage people to arrange their annual gas safety check, and what help might be available to those who find themselves in fuel poverty and unable to do this? Duties relating to maintenance of appliances applicable to landlords are set out in UK legislation. Through our partners, Rospa, we have promoted, via social media and newsletter, the gas-safe registers advice. Two, one, check your gas appliances every year, and two, check your engineer is gas-safe registered. Going forward, Rospa is developing two surveys. One is aimed at private landlords and the other at the general public to assess their awareness of carbon monoxide poisoning and what they do to prevent it. The web hub will be developed to address the shortfalls of information covering safety and responsibility. To ask the Scottish Government when it agreed the investment zone selection method with the UK Government. Scottish and UK Government officials developed a joint approach to place selection over the period from April to June, with regular updates provided to ministers throughout this period. Scottish and UK ministers formally confirmed their agreement to the approach and selected the two regions on 22 June. A formal note on the selection method was published on 18 August to fulfil the commitment made to Dundee City Council leader John Alexander. I'm afraid that the cabinet secretary needs to get the story straight. On 18 July he told me, in an answer to a written question, that invitation to host an investment zone was not subject to abiding our application process. Then, as he says on 18 August, a document titled investment zones in Scotland policy model and place selection methodology appeared on the UK Government's website. The decision to award those investment zones to Glasgow and Aberdeen featured on page 1 of the document. Does he agree with his ministerial colleague Tom Arthur, who told the finance committee that having transparency on the application process is very important, very important indeed in my view, given that Dundee has now neither a green fee port nor an investment zone and that this is nothing more than a political fix? I'm sure that Michael Marra has no interest, given that one of the investment zones chosen was in his region to pick community against community, as he appeared to try to do in answer to that question. Of course, the Scottish and UK Governments have committed again in response to a request from John Alexander to engage on what further help might be available for Dundee in the Tay City region to ensure that we're taking full advantage of the economic opportunities, the undoubted economic opportunities that arise from those communities. I'm committed to engaging with that and I believe that UK Government colleagues are as well. Question 5, Daniel Johnson. To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking in response to the recommendation by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child to develop statutory guidance on the use of restraint on children to ensure that it is used only as a measure of last resort and to exclusively to prevent harm to the child or others and monitor its implementation. Cabinet Secretary, Jenny Goldruth. I am aware of Mr Johnson's long-standing interest in this subject and I know he will agree with me that all children and young people have the right to be treated with respect and to be safe and to do so with staff who work with them. Of course, any use of restraint must be carried out with regard to the welfare of the child. That is provided for in the guidance that is already in place in education custody, mental health and care settings aimed at controlling and limiting the use of restraint. But Mr Johnson will know that we consulted on the draft guidance on physical intervention in schools and I intend to publish revised guidance in due course. We are also exploring options to strengthen the legal framework in this area, including placing the guidance on a statutory basis, and I will be happy to discuss that with him when we meet next week. I thank the cabinet secretary for her very welcome remarks. She will be aware that I have a consultation open on a member's bill on this precise subject. Does she agree with me that not just the committee's comments but also the fact that Northern Ireland is now consulting on this very issue changes the context? Does she agree with me that we need robust reporting standards and training standards for teachers, rather than just simply guidance itself to make progress in this area? I thank Daniel Johnson for his supplementary question. I am, of course, aware about the consultation that he has engaged in on the possibility of his member's bill on the use of restraint and seclusion in schools. I think that he makes a very valid point in relation to the context changing and other parts of the UK looking at what more they might be able to do. I very much look forward to considering further details of his member's bill proposal. Of course, we will be meeting next week to discuss some of that detail. He has made mention of reporting and training standards, particularly in relation to teacher education. I will keep discussing both of those topics in a bit more detail with him when we meet next week. To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the Fraser of Allander survey that found that only 9 per cent of businesses felt that the Scottish Government understands the business landscape in Scotland. We are grateful to the Fraser of Allander institute who I met yesterday to discuss this in other areas around the Scottish economy for carrying out the survey of 400 businesses. There is no doubt that the results are disappointing. That is why the role of the new deal for business group to build trust with business and to drive meaningful, tangible change is important. While the indicators from the survey could help track progress over time, a broader set of indicators should be developed to more fully measure progress and impact. Those could include broader impact indicators such as business confidence and business investment, and that will be further considered by the new deal for business group. The new deal for business group is just part of a process to ensure that we create the conditions collaboratively to support business, which in turn will drive fair, green economic growth and, with a purpose, feeding into strong and sustainable finances to tackle poverty and support our public services and communities. I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer. The business community has clearly delivered a vote of no confidence in the SNP's economic management. Therefore, will the cabinet secretary tackle decisively action to ensure that every single minister in the Scottish Government is 100 per cent committed to the key objective of economic growth? Yes. I thank Alexander Stewart for that answer. The work that I have been doing, the First Minister has been leading across the Government to ensure that we are responsive to business needs. Of course, we have to recognise that not all the levers of the economy are in the control of the Scottish Government. I am sure that colleagues in the Conservative party must know, unless they have been hiding behind a bushel all summer, that the main drivers of concern for those in business in Scotland are areas around the impact of Brexit on labour supply, the impact of high interest rates on their tradeable environment and ensuring that they are able to meet economic growth. All those areas need to see further action from the UK Government, which has wrecked the economy from that disastrous trust-quartime budget. To ask the Scottish Government what its responses are regarding levels of attainment in modern studies in the most recent SQA exam results in Renfrewshire. Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills and, as a former modern studies teacher, I congratulate the ambition, hard work and resilience of the young people in Renfrewshire who achieved a strong set of results in modern studies. In 2023, pass rates for modern studies at national 5 in Renfrewshire were above the national average and the same as the national average at higher. The achievements of those young people should be celebrated. I am glad to hear that answer from the cabinet secretary because she knows how important modern studies are in teaching good citizenship and respectful debate. Young people and their teachers across Renfrewshire work extremely hard to achieve their results in the subject. What would the cabinet secretary say to a colleague encouraging the denigration of young people's exam results in order to attack a political opponent? Will she join me in condemning the actions of her colleagues from local SNP branches, council groups and even the chamber, who seem to believe that the life chances of pupils at Park Mains High and excellent school in my region are fair game in desperate political attacks? Clearly, I think that we could all learn to be a little more circumspect and thoughtful on our use of social media and in particular how and what adults say and do impacts on our children and young people. I understand the tweets that the member has alluded to, has since been deleted and the member has apologised at the time, but I am intrigued by the care that Mr O'Cain appears to attach to one tweet from an SNP backbencher. The Scottish Labour Party has, of course, attached no such care to the 1,620 children in Rutherglen, Hamilton West, who have been affected by the two-child benefit cap. It is the Tory's heinous rape clause, which is harming children and their outcomes, the length and breadth of this country, and instead of coming to the chamber today with a backbone, Mr O'Cain comes to be moan a tweet on social media. Schools work hard to deliver a diverse academic and vocational journey for students. For example, Bearsden within my constituency achieved the Gold Ambassador award for their work to equally promote academic and vocational career pathways. What does the Scottish Government do to support schools and the delivery of those routes? I thank the member for her question. She raises a really important point. Of course, this year we have seen a record number of vocational and technical qualifications achieved this year, and that breadth of pathways is hugely important in relation to the qualifications on offer to our young people. She mentions Bearsden academy in her own constituency. I have been more than happy to visit the school, along with the member, to hear about some of the work that has been undertaken in that school. Thank you. That concludes general questions.
