As we near the end of the first month back, we wanted to let you know of a few highlights we have in the calendar for the upcoming months.
DYW National Programmes and Initiatives Our national programmes are based on evidence of what works for who and when and are also co-developed with employers, educators and young people to offer a quality experience for all involved. The DYW Skills Academy offers employers and educators a fully packaged meaningful way to connect to support young people. Through a blend of online Digital Resources, interactive Employer Sessions and One to One Support, young people can explore key themes on the world of work, engage with a range of employers and apply their learning to develop their employability skills. We deliver the employer sessions through DYW Live and all 5 employer sessions are planned to run alongside a personal development award being delivered on DYW Live. These virtual sessions will take place during 24th April – 12th May 2023. Educators can find out more and book by clicking here. At a regional level, employers can get involved and take a lead role in inspiring young people and shaping the future workforce. To get involved visit the Regional Groups pages to find your regional link or contact us and we will connect you in. My Climate Path is an employer-led programme of activity which raises awareness of the roles and skills required for the jobs of the future that will drive sustainable economic growth in a curriculum and net zero economy.

Celebrating and promoting all things DYW through National Campaigns and activity. Scottish Apprenticeship Week takes place from 6th – 10th March. DYW are supporting Scottish Apprenticeship Week to show the positive impact work-based learning has on businesses, people and the Scottish economy. This year’s theme is Unlocking Potential, with the aim of showcasing what individuals and employers can achieve through apprenticeships. By unlocking potential and providing the skills employers want, apprenticeships support sustained employment, upskilling and a productive economy. Foundation, Modern and Graduate Apprenticeships are supporting over 43,000 apprentices and 12,000 businesses across the country. Apprenticeships open opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds and abilities to gain and develop skills that will support them throughout their life and in work. Employers can realise their potential with the support of apprenticeships, by developing a workforce that supports the skills they need for now and the future.
