YPG is an initiative committed to bringing together employers, business partners, and young people. It aims to connect every 16- to 24-year-old in Scotland to an opportunity which may be a job, apprenticeship, further or higher education, training, or volunteering. It could also be an enterprise opportunity.
Delivering the Young Workforce (DYW) plays a key part in the delivery of the Young Person’s Guarantee. It is an employer led body whose priority is to make it easier for employers to connect with young people in schools and colleges across Scotland to provide support for young people ready to join the world of work. Through the DYW, companies can provide inspirational opportunities for young people to help them understand and develop the skills they need to succeed.
Our partnership, working to support the young people of Moray began in 2017 . Some of those who have participated in the scheme share their stories below.
ASL is totally committed to the partnership and indeed our own CEO, Victor West is vice chair of the DYW Moray Board.
