The DYW Forth Valley Regional Group’s aim is to increase meaningful, direct engagement between businesses and education to better prepare young people to move to positive destinations after school and to recognise the opportunities available to them.

Our role is to build relationships with businesses to develop partnerships with education by simplifying current systems and encouraging increased engagement to:
​

• Instigate and develop programmes of meaningful activities to support young people with preparation for the world of work and job possibilities available to them to help ensure they can make informed choices about the jobs and careers that they want to pursue


• Increase young people’s knowledge and understanding of the skills and strengths employers are looking for in the workplace and how to recognise and articulate them.


• Support businesses, through increased contact with young people in education, to harness the emerging pool of talent and attract the next generation workforce into their industry.
