And that's a wrap! 6 weeks have flown in and I've loved seeing how much the groups confidence has grown! 🥰🙌
Inspiring as ever to spend time with our #BreakingBarriers class of 2023 completing work placements at @ScottishPower. Motivational words from @SPRKeith about this outstanding example of public, private & #SocialSector partnership to advance #equity, #diversity & #inclusion. #EDI
