Last week, The Orcadian took part Lunch with an Employer at Stromness Academy. Pupils had the chance to learn about careers at the paper including journalism, design, newspaper production and advertising and also got to try shorthand and designing the front cover of the paper.

We’re on a journey of improvement. Among the areas we need to do better are sickness absence & appraisals. I welcome this The Orcadian coverage about the work that’s underway to improve staff engagement, health & wellbeing, culture & value & recognition for #TeamOrkney
