About Developing The Young Workforce, Dundee And Angus
Connecting employers, education and Young People to help employers meet workforce needs
Developing The Young Workforce, Dundee And Angus Description
Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) Dundee and Angus is one of 21 regional DYW groups across Scotland. We help implement the Scottish Government DYW strategy, which aims to reduce youth unemployment and help young people get the right skills and experiences to move from education into employment.
We work to bring businesses and education closer together. This helps young people become more work ready through taking part in quality work-related activities, growing work-based learning like apprenticeships and collaborating on work- focused curriculum.
All DYW groups are industry-led. We respond to the needs of the local labour market and work with employers and education to help meet these. Our work helps young people, supports employers of all sizes to meet their workforce need and ultimately helps grow the local economy.
