The second edition of a brochure encouraging young Scottish people to make the most of the opportunities that are available to them at a European level has been launched by Scottish Nationalist Party EFA MEP, Alyn Smith.

The brochure, entitled “Opportunities for Bright Scots in Europe” will be sent to all secondary schools, universities and libraries in Scotland and is also available on request in electronic format. The booklet provides an overview of what jobs are on offer in the main institutions such as the European Commission and the European Parliament as well as information on funding and exchange programmes.
MEP Alyn Smith, who is Scotland’s youngest MEP, said:

"There are a whole host of opportunities available for students across the EU. It is a grave shame that so many Scots are unaware of these possibilities. I have produced this brochure because I want to open as many doors for Scots as I possibly can.
"As a proud Scot working in Europe and a fellow intern back in 1996, I want to see more and more Scots making their mark across Europe. With a lot of pessimism surrounding the job market at the moment I want to reassure bright young Scots that they can have a bright future if they make the most of opportunities that are readily available."
