The Young Person's Guarantee - support young talent & build your future workforce

17/5/2021

 
As part of Scotland’s response to COVID-19 economic recovery, the Young Person’s Guarantee was launched in November 2020. It aims to give all young people, aged 16-24 in Scotland, the chance to succeed through the opportunity of a job, apprenticeship, education, training or volunteering.
 
And for employers, it offers help to develop a future pipeline of skills and experience, with young people at the heart of the workforce. Young people bring organisations a wealth of talent, creativity, and enthusiasm, critical now and for future success.
​

​Employers of all sizes and across all sectors can get involved with Young Person’s Guarantee in up to 5 ways:

  • ​Prepare them for the world of work
  • Create opportunities for young people who face the greatest barriers to work
  • Invest in a skilled workforce through apprenticeships, training and upskilling opportunities
  • Create jobs and opportunities suitable for 16-24 year olds
  • Ensure a work environment which supports all young people and provides fair work

In Forth Valley, if you are already committed to supporting the development of young people then we would encourage you to sign up to the Young Person's Guarantee and as a team, we aim to be touching base with all of local our partners in the near future to discuss the Young Person's Guarantee and what it means for your business.

If you are keen to support the Young Person's Guarantee and have not yet engaged with DYW, please email us at getinvolved@dyw.forthvalley.ac.uk and we will be in touch to support you through the next steps.

As part of ‘Tomorrow’s Engineers Week’ there will be a chance for schools to take part in ‘The Big Assembly’ at 10:30am on the 7th of November 2018.

This is an excellent opportunity for young people who have ideas and passions about engineering to turn them into careers. 

Big Assembly is a live video stream to thousands of students across the UK wanting to find out how engineering impacts on the issues they care about, such as saving the environment, animal welfare, staying safe, health and entertainment.

The live stream will be a mix of short inspirational films interspersed with live discussion, which will include the opportunity to take questions from viewers. The films examine exciting engineering career options, including more information on the panel. During the discussion, there will be experts on hands to answer questions sent ‘real time’ using email, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Schools can register for free now and be part of the biggest career webinar.

DO ONE THING

4/9/2018

 
Have you ever worked with education? Would you like to? It is easier than you think.

If you can give up an hour or two of your time then all we need is for you to “Do one thing!”

By getting involved you can motivate, inspire and stimulate a pupil by giving them an opportunity to benefit from your knowledge and on the job practical skills.

You can also help them develop their soft skills such as self-confidence, assertiveness, communication, inquisitiveness and creativity.

Can you make your 'one thing' a work placement?

Nationally only 27% of employers offer work placements however development of career management skills in young people at this stage is crucial.
"54% of 18 year olds in forth valley are in higher or further education"
