DYW and why should you get involved
By getting involved in Developing the Young Workforce (DYW), Linlithgow businesses can help shape the skills and aspirations of local young people while strengthening their own future workforce. Even small contributions—such as sharing career journeys, offering workplace insights, or supporting school projects—can make a lasting difference.
Engagement helps pupils understand real career pathways, builds essential workplace skills, and raises awareness of opportunities within the local area. In return, businesses benefit from fresh perspectives, stronger community connections, and early access to emerging talent.
Simply put, supporting DYW in Linlithgow is an investment in both young people and the future of the local economy.
