Youth & Employability

The More Choices More Chances (MCMC) initiative was published in June 2006 and endorsed by the Scottish Government following the election in May 2007. It is a policy initiative that seeks to provide young people in need of additional support with pathways into education, employment or training. MCMC contains a 39-point action plan which will be delivered by central and local government and other partners from the public, voluntary and private sector.

16+ Learning Choices is part of the MCMC agenda and is the model within the Curriculum for Excellence being used to encourage young people to stay in learning beyond the age of 16.

In March 2010 GCVS hosted a voluntary sector event in conjunction with the 16+ Learning Choices team from Glasgow City Council to provide information about the opportunities for voluntary sector involvement in the provision of learning opportunities to young people. The programme is needs-led, seeking to provide tailored support by commissioning services from different service providers. If your organisation would like to register as a provider, contact the 16+ Learning Choices team on
