#BeHere

Future in the Highlands and Islands 

People are at the heart of our region's success. We want it to be easy for our young people, and our workforce, to develop their potential here. We welcome new skills and talent from around the world.

We are working together on the #BeHere campaign. Anyone in the private, public and voluntary sectors who has an opportunity or good news story for our region can use #behere as a hashtag in their social media.

And if you want to support the campaign, then watch out for the hashtag on social platforms, share it, and help spread the word. 

We've also created some materials which you might find useful: short films which introduce the area and access to key statistics. You are welcome to share these in job packs and social media.
