DYW Ayrshire was established in October 2015 and is chaired by David Smith, Managing Director of Ashleigh (Scotland) Ltd. With a dedicated employer engagement and communication resource, our mission is to encourage and support employers to engage directly with education, whilst encouraging them to recruit more young people.
We also work in partnership with The Princes Trust & Ayrshire College to deliver innovative projects that develop skills for work and employability skills in our young people. The majority of the projects are aimed at young people who are currently disengaged or at risk of disengaging from learning; these projects provide a catalyst to re-engage. We have introduced opportunities for Influencers of our young people to have behind the scenes access to a variety of industries. The host employer speaks about their sector, careers opportunities, routes into employment & their interview process. Influencers can then share this direct with young people. |
