In 2012, The Glasgow Employer Board (GEB), Glasgow Chamber of Commerce’s flagship employment and skills group, formed its Youth Employment Action Group (YEAG) and embarked upon a 14 month research period to develop employer-led solutions to youth unemployment in Glasgow.
Working with key partners across the city, the YEAG concluded its research into youth unemployment in Glasgow in early 2014, publishing 13 recommendations which they believed would improve and positively impact employment opportunities for young people. Assuming responsibility for Developing the Young Workforce in Glasgow was a natural progression for the GEB and in late 2014, it was announced as the first regional Developing the Young Workforce Group. Led by Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, DYW Glasgow builds on the recommendations of the Youth Employment Action Group with the key focuses being on strengthening industry engagement with education and increasing employment opportunities for young people in the city. |
