What is DYW?

  • Developing the Young Workforce is a seven year programme to reduce youth unemployment by 40% by 2021. 2019 is year 5 of the programme.
  • The national milestones are set out in Scotland’s Youth Employment Strategy  
  • The programme is built on the CfE entitlements for children and young people set out in 2008 in Building the Curriculum 3.
  • It is a key education policy, as highlighted by John Swinney at SLF 2017 – “Our education policy is enshrined by three major policies, Getting it Right for Every Child, Curriculum for Excellence and Developing Scotland's Young Workforce.”
  • A focus on STEM sits at the heart of DYW. The Digital Learning and Teaching Strategy, Making Maths Count report and a STEM strategy for Scotland will contribute useful and relevant insights.
  • DYW has a particular and significant contribution to make to the Scottish Attainment Challenge outcomes.
