Pupils from Gairloch and Ullapool High Schools were among the ninety-three pupils who took in Powering Futures Live at Ross County Football Club in Dingwall this week.
The initiative was established in 2020 to empower young people with the skills, critical thinking and confidence to enter the workplace.
The showcase event, which was sponsored by Zero Waste Scotland, marks the end of a year-long journey, during which the pupils engage with real-world challenges posed by leading Scottish businesses.
Having undertaken their final presentations, all participants are now expected to earn an SCQF Level 6 qualification.

The successful city will be announced later this year, and collects ten-million pounds to deliver a year of cultural events highlighting local strengths and stories.
Three runners up will get one-hundred and twenty-five thousand to support their ongoing projects.
