The Committee joined the Chair in congratulating a Keith Grammar student on winning a national award.
Lee Scott was named the Astra Zeneca STEM Student of the Year at a ceremony in London on 2 April 2019.
The award recognised the student from across the UK who has made the most progress towards a career in a STEM industry through the national Career Ready programme. The award also recognised the student who can inspire others to consider STEM careers with their stories.
Eighteen year old Lee completed two internships at engineering firms in Keith and Aberdeen under the guidance of his mentor Steven Dunbar, the Managing Director of oil and gas engineering company, Global Resources.
This followed Milne’s High School pupil Erika Stewart, who was named ‘Moray Student of the Year’ at a ceremony in Perth last week.
Career Ready is one of Moray Council’s key offers to all secondary school students in their senior phase through the Moray Skills Pathway. Thirty eight young people also graduated this year and 50 are enrolled in this year’s intake.
The Committee joined the Chair in sincerely congratulating the Council’s education team for all the work they put into Moray’s programme, one which is seen as leading by the national executive.
The Committee also joined the Chair in thanking the main sponsors of the programme in Moray, Diageo.
