One Network.
Twenty Regional Groups.

DYW is one national network with 20 local Regional Groups funded by Scottish Government and part of the national skills, education and careers system. Each group works closely with employers, schools and colleges to build meaningful partnerships that reflect the unique industries, skills needs and opportunities of their local area.
