"The ambition of Developing the Young Workforce is that education and employers work closely together to equip all young people with the skills and knowledge they will need to flourish in work."
EDUCATION SCOTLAND
DYWICH and its team of dedicated school coordinators work in collaboration with education professionals, in schools and colleges, to support and embed the provision of work-related and work-based learning in the classroom and throughout the school.
"Our education policy is enshrined by three major policies, Getting it Right for Every Child, Curriculum for Excellence and Developing Scotland's Young Workforce."
Discover how the curriculum can be aligned to prepare young people for the opportunities to flourish in the future and meet the needs of employers and industry, by engaging with DYWICH and our dedicated team of school coordinators.
DYW School Coordinators
The main role of a DYW School Coordinator is to support senior leaders in the school to embed the Developing the Young Workforce Strategy and other employer offers within the curriculum.
They create and implement a structure for employer engagement which reflects the school’s demographic, regional and local DYW plans and maintain a robust network of partners within the local business community.
In doing so they support school leadership teams in fulfilling national priorities around employability and enterprise, Career Education Standard and Work Placement Standard.
