Developing the Young Workforce are excited to launch our first virtual Scotland’s Biggest Parents’ Event Series!

Our Scotland’s Biggest Parents’ Events are a series of four broadcasts running throughout the summer, which will allow parents, carers and guardians to hear about the things that matter to them right now.

The events will provide parents and carers with information about options and pathways for young people, including where they can go to make informed judgements to support their young person’s next steps.

With input from a range of experts covering topics such as exams, mental health, apprenticeships, skills development and pathways into industry, the events aim to provide a message of reassurance and optimism to parents and carers at this challenging time.

Launching the E-DYW Digital Resource Hub

If you are a young person, educator, parent or carer, employer, or organisation you will find online support and resources to assist you in all aspects of the Developing the Young Workforce programme.

This is an evolving project and is designed to compliment the work of all stakeholders engaged in the DYW programme. Our initial bank of resources aims to support those in the senior phase and beyond but, we will expand these resources to aid stakeholders from early learning onwards, in the coming months.
