Welcome to DYW Linlithgow
Developing the Young Workforce at Linlithgow
Developing the Young Workforce Scotland is a national programme designed to strengthen the link between education and employment, ensuring young people develop the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to succeed. At DYW Linlithgow, we support this vision by working closely with schools, businesses and partner organisations to create meaningful, real-world learning experiences.
Our work aligns with national guidance from Education Scotland Developing the Young Workforce, ensuring that career education, employer engagement and skills development are embedded throughout the learner journey. Through Developing the Young Workforce Education Scotland, young people are supported to explore a wide range of pathways, including further and higher education, apprenticeships, training and employment.
The DYW Scotland approach recognises that there is no single route to success. By promoting equality of opportunity and valuing both vocational and academic pathways, Developing the Young Workforce helps learners make informed decisions about their futures based on their strengths, interests and ambitions.
At DYW Linlithgow, we focus on:
- Strengthening partnerships between education and local employers
- Supporting young people to develop employability and transferable skills
- Promoting positive and sustained destinations after school
- Sharing best practice across the DYW network
This blog will share the latest news, success stories and updates from across our Developing the Young Workforce activity — highlighting employer partnerships, pupil experiences, careers events and opportunities that connect education with the real world of work.
Together, through DYW, we are helping to develop confident, skilled and future-ready young people in Linlithgow and beyond.
