Developing the Young Workforce Dundee and Angus brings together employers, education and young people. This helps employers meet their workforce needs, helps young people transition more easily into work and helps educators collaborate with employers.
Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) Dundee and Angus is one of 22 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 needs and ultimately helps grow the local economy.
