Creating & delivering career inspiration
DYW Tay Cities work with schools to create and deliver career inspiration activity in partnership with local businesses. There is no ‘one size fits all’ support package, but the DYW programme allows businesses to work flexibly with schools and find ways to engage which most suits them.
How to Get Involved
Career Exploration
Includes: Careers Fairs, Work Site Visits, Motivational Talks
Introduce young people to various career paths through interactive experiences. Whether through visiting workplaces, attending career fairs, or hearing from industry experts, students can explore different fields and opportunities in an engaging and informative way.
Skill Development
Includes: Business/Enterprise Challenges, Workshops, Skills Sessions
Employers and educators collaborate to develop key skills through hands-on projects and challenges. These activities encourage teamwork, problem-solving, and real-world application of knowledge, helping young people to develop the essential soft and hard skills needed for success.
Mentorship & Guidance
Includes: One-on-One Mentoring, Career Talks, Apprenticeship Programs
Provide young people with the support and advice they need to make informed career decisions. Mentorship and career talks offer personalized guidance, helping them navigate the job market and make the most of work-based learning opportunities.

Young Persons Guarantee
The Young Person’s Guarantee brings together employers, partners and young people. It aims to connect every 16 to 24 year old in Scotland to an opportunity. This could be a job, apprenticeship, further or higher education, training or volunteering. It could also be an enterprise opportunity. We are asking employers to sign up to the Young Person’s Guarantee to show their commitment to supporting the next generation of the workforce.
