Support young people in schools

Help young people in the North-east prepare for future careers

DYW makes it easy for employers and teachers to support young people with their career choices. We have a range of ready-to-go, age-appropriate activities to help young people develop their employability skills and explore the different jobs and industry sectors that exist here in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. We call these our activity frameworks.

Regardless of whether you're an employer or an educator, we have an activity and a framework to suit. Get in touch with our team. We'll guide you through the rest.

Inspire the next generation of North-east workers

Could you inspire young people about the jobs, career pathways and industry sectors that exist here in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?

For employers, our activity frameworks are designed to help you to share your career story, your skills or your sector knowledge. We'll work with you to see what suits you best.

For teachers, our activities will support your pupils to link their learning with the world of work, taking into account their academic subjects and year group.

Below is a flavour of the activities that we organise with employers, schools and young people. Can't wait to get going? Contact our team today.

"It was a pleasure to participate in the careers fair and be a part of the DYW community. Well organised and supported with a diverse range of employers attending. Plentiful opportunities for interacting with pupils, which will hopefully give them an insight into prospective career pathways to consider."
