Would you like to help shape our region’s future workforce?
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.
There are lots of different ways to get involved with DYW activities; we'll help you find what works best for you.
The DYW Pledge 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 DYW Pledge 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 DYW Pledge across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
For Kai Henderson, apprenticeships have allowed him to explore, develop and fine‑tune his career pathway.
Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) North East has welcomed several new members to its board, strengthening its representation and expertise across key sectors.
Businesses across the North East are being encouraged to put their future workforce first in 2026 by attending one of two upcoming employer information events hosted by DYW North East.
