As part of our ongoing collaboration with local partners, the DYW Glasgow regional group along with stakeholders at GCC, SDS and the Princes Trust designed a job market specifically aimed at those young people who were leaving school in summer 2022 and were currently still sitting in a ‘negative destination’.

On Tuesday 8th November 2022, DYW Edinburgh, Midlothian and East Lothian ran DYW Roadshow. This was our second event of its kind this year, and our first ever for Winter Leavers.

​The event brought together employers, further education, higher education, and training providers with the young people in our region to help them find their next step.

Find out about the Young Person’s Guarantee and how supporting young people could benefit your organisation.
​The ambition of the Young Person’s Guarantee is that within two years every young person in Scotland aged 16-24 will have the opportunity of a job, apprenticeship, further or higher education, training programme or volunteering.

The impact of the pandemic on employers and young people alongside a challenging labour market means that there’s never been a more important time to consider young talent within the workforce. 

Our Scotland’s Biggest Parents’ Events are a series of four broadcasts which ran throughout the summer, which allowed parents, carers and guardians to hear about the things that matter to them right now. The events provided parents and carers with information about options and next steps for young people, including where they can go to make informed judgements to support their young person's next steps.

The final events in the DYW Skills Academy programme will be a series of live webinars “Up2U20” for young people from Monday 24th August to Friday 28th August.
​
The DYW Up2U episodes will include conversations and live Q & A with employers, young people and specialists from different pathways you can take. We hope these events will support you to find the next step in your #NoWrongPath journey. Follow the conversation on social media and hear about opportunities in your area #DYWUp2U20.

On Tuesday 4th August, Scottish Results day, DYW 21 regional groups supported the #NoWrongPath campaign.  
 
#NoWrongPath is a social media movement which aims to provide inspiration and reassurance to young people receiving their results.​  

Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) 21 regional groups launched an awareness campaign across Scotland which ran from the 1st - 5th June. The campaign showcased roles within the key sectors to make young people more aware of the types of jobs involved and what skills and qualities would be required. 

We tapped into the energy of key workers to push this campaign forward and inspire the next generation. The campaign was promoted across social media platforms and featured a variety of sectors and job roles. 

On Thursday 23rd April 2020 Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) 21 regional groups worked together to inspire young people to consider a variety of careers when being home schooled and who better to do that than parents and guardians.

As many parents/guardians are juggling working from home and home schooling, we wanted to use this as an opportunity to encourage anyone who can get involved with Bring your Child to Work Day (Home Edition!)
