Who are DYW?

Developing the Young Workforce plays a key part in the delivery of the Young Person’s Guarantee. We are employer led, and it’s our priority to make it easier for employers to connect with young people in schools and colleges across Scotland.

​It’s a team effort to support young people to prepare for the world of work. Through DYW, employers can provide inspirational opportunities for young people to help them understand and develop the skills they need to succeed. Get involved to influence education and help shape the future workforce Scotland needs.
