Launched in 2017, #NoWrongPath is a social media movement led by the Developing Young Workforce, which provides inspiration and reassurance to young people receiving their exam results.
It aims to show young people the options that are available to them and that exam results are not necessarily the key to unlocking future success
We've joined Scotland's employers in congratulating young learners on achieving qualifications in the face of extraordinary challenges over the past two years and providing reassurance and support for their futures.
Careers don't always move in a straight line & exam results are not the only key to unlocking future success.
