DYW Ayrshire would like to introduce you to the Young Person’s Guarantee.
Launched in November 2020 as part of the economic response in Scotland to the pandemic, and to avoid a generation of young people falling into long-term unemployment. The Guarantee connects young people with learning and work and aims that within two years every 16-24 year old will have the chance to succeed through the opportunity of a job, apprenticeship, education, training or volunteering.
We are now inviting employers to get behind the 5 asks of the Guarantee:
– Prepare young people for the world of work
– Create opportunities for young people who face the greatest barriers to work
– Invest in a skilled workforce through apprenticeships, training and upskilling opportunities
– Create jobs and opportunities suitable for 16-24 year olds
– Ensure a work environment which supports all young people and provides fair work
Over the next few weeks DYW Ayrshire will be reaching out to many of our local employers to discuss this in more detail. In the meantime if you would like to find out more contact info@dywayrshire.com.
