The DYW Pledge is a simple way for employers to show their commitment to supporting young people into the world of work. It recognises and celebrates the actions employers are already taking and helps them identify new ways to get involved. The DYW Pledge is supported by DYW regional teams, who work directly with employers to help them take practical next steps. Whether you can offer one-off careers talk or a long-term opportunity, the DYW Pledge is flexible to your capacity.
