Youth Migration

[Kintyre Forum News]

Received the following e-mail. An interesting topic and would be good to hear the thoughts.

Dear All

Hopefully you will have seen the intranet, press and heard Alastair Nicolson on the news in relation to our on-line survey focusing on young people
aged 15-30.

If you're not in the 15-30 age group yourself, you'll know lots of people who are, so please help us reach as wide a group as possible, by passing the link on to other work contacts, friends and family and asking them to do so too. Remember we're looking for three main groups of people, young people currently living here, young people who have moved away and those who have a link or interest in the area and might choose to come and live here. There are on-line vouchers up for grabs as an incentive.

Your help in snowballing this survey will be much appreciated.

The survey will be followed up with focus groups and a panel survey and we expect a report in August or September.

Many thanks

This looks like a good idea. I didn't like the style of the web page, so looked it up on the HIE site and its here http://www.hie.co.uk/youth-migration.htm, it looks more official to me and some might be more comfortable clicking through to the survey from the official HIE site and entering any details they have to.

Get all you children in this age group to fill it out. They are the future of the area and are the ones responsible for shaping the area in years to come.

Pupils in S4 - 6 at the Grammar School will be taking part in this survey in June, after the change of timetable.

That's good news.. I hope all the secondary schools in A&B are offering pupils in S4 - S6 the chance to take part.

Would also be a good idea to get as many of the 19-30 year olds as possible to take part as well.

Is there a HIE office in the town where people in the age group could go to get on-line and take part ?

Done. I'm making the most of my last year in this age-group

done, quite an interesting survey

[RMcC]

I did it, was quite interesting and will be interesting to see the findings from it

Hi folks

There are only a couple of weeks left until this survey closes, so anyone who is 15 to 30 years old only has a short time left to get their views known. Log onto http://www.youthmigration.org and fill in the short survey for Highlands and Islands Enterprise. You might even win a £20 Amazon voucher for your troubles. Remember, you don't need to live in the Highlands and Islands at the moment to take part. The views of those living elsewhere are also important.
