Right Skills Right Job
The DYW Dundee & Angus Employability Skills Programme is a series of 6 modules looking at different things young people need to think about when they are looking for employment.
For each module there is a task in the workbook, and this is accompanied by a short film made by a local employer (this would usually be a face to face talk in the classroom). It can be used by any young person in senior phase at school, in College, with another training provider or wanting to work through it on their own. Completion of all 6 modules can be included in evidence for an employability award. Download the workbook now by clicking below – this can either be printed or completed electronically.
