Developing the Young Workforce Inverness & Central Highland is part of a national framework of regional employer-led boards across Scotland. Formed as part of the Scottish Government's youth employment strategy, as described by the Wood Commission report, the regional boards work in partnership on the education and skills agenda, seeking more opportunities for young people. Our aim is to develop sustainable links between schools, colleges and employers.

Working in partnership with over 600 employers, DYW and their partners can help a business to shape their future workforce and help better prepare young people for the world of work. Ultimately, to recruit more young people and promote diversity in the work place.

All employers, regardless of size and type can make a real and valuable contribution, so if you would like to be involved do get in touch with the Inverness & Central Highland DYW team on info@dywich.co.uk

As ambassadors for student employability, Founders4Schools and DYW Inverness and Central Highland will facilitate student-employer encounters by enabling teachers to place business leaders in their classrooms. These leaders will talk to students about the jobs they might hold or create in the future.
