Connecting employers with young people and education.
Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) North East makes it easier for employers to connect with young people in schools and colleges across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
It’s a team effort to support young people to prepare for the world of work. Through DYW, employers can provide inspirational opportunities for young people to help them understand and develop the skills they need.
The Young Person’s Guarantee aims to connect every 16-24 year old in Scotland to an opportunity - from a job or apprenticeship, to further or higher education, training or volunteering.
For employers, the Young Person's Guarantee is a great tool for planning and structuring their activities with young people.
DYW North East plays a key part in the delivery of the Young Person’s Guarantee.
Ask questions, learn from those around you and take every opportunity that comes your way. Andrew McRae of Acumen Financial Planning explains how he went from work placement pupil to Scotland’s youngest Chartered Associate Financial Planner.
Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) North East has welcomed Mavis Anagboso as its new Chair. Mavis, who joined the board as Vice Chair in November 2023, takes over from James Bream, who has been Chair for the past three years.
Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) celebrates its tenth birthday this year, however one North-east employer has been investing in young talent for several decades. For Morrison Construction, it’s an investment that pays off. A whopping 80 per cent of the current board, including its Managing Director, started their careers with the business as an apprentice or a trainee.
