Developing Young Workforce

Developing the Young Workforce Report, encourages education and employers to work closely together to equip all young people with the skills and knowledge they will need to flourish in the workplace. Schools and employers must create meaningful and productive partnerships that build on good practice and existing links. They should bring mutual benefit and evolve to respond to local circumstances. East Dunbartonshire Council would like support its young people and local businesses to deliver this ambition by establishing further links with employers in our local area.

 

Why should employers get involved?

• Employers can help young people develop the attitudes, skills and knowledge needed for their
industry or business

• Employers can promote a positive awareness of their business in the community

• Employers can provide development opportunities for the staff within their organisations

Potential benefits for young people

• Employers can bring real life context into the
classroom

• Employers can help young people develop skills for
job applications, CV writing and interviews

• Employers can identify the skills young people need for employment and the world of work
