Developing the Young Workforce Dundee & Angus

We connect employers, education and young people.

This helps employers meet their workforce needs, helps young people transition more easily into work and helps educators collaborate with industry.

Across the whole region there is a pressing need to make sure young people have the right skills and experience to enter fulfilling careers and grow our local economy.

Dundee has one of the highest rates of youth unemployment in Scotland. Right now, across Dundee and Angus, there are over 640 young people not in training, education or employment – but we know there are important sectors of the economy with skills shortages and an ageing workforce.

DYW can help overcome some of these challenges.
