A COMMITMENT FROM EMPLOYERS TO SCOTLAND'S YOUNG PEOPLE
The DYW Pledge is a commitment from employers to support Scotland’s young people to succeed in the world of work. As employers and partners, you play a vital role in creating opportunities for young people as they prepare for and take their first steps into the world of work.
What is the DYW Pledge?
We’re asking you to pledge support in ways that not only benefit the young people of Scotland but benefit your business too. You can build a workforce with the right skills and experience now and in the future.
Your pledge is built around areas of support and creating opportunities for young people — from advocacy, to preparing them for the workplace, through to investing in a skilled and inclusive workforce.
Benefits to Your Organisation
- Gaining new ideas and insight from a generationally diverse team
- Help with recruitment, retention and succession planning
- Developing and motivating existing staff
- Raising awareness of your industry and organisation
