Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) is a seven-year programme (2014-2021) that aims to better prepare children and young people 
aged 3–18 for the world of work.
​
This programme builds on the foundations already in place through Curriculum for Excellence.

Education Working For All, the final report of the Commission for Developing Scotland's Young Workforce, was published in June 2014.

Your Regional Employer led group work in partnership with Industry, your Local Authority, Skills Development Scotland and Edinburgh College to support you in delivering the expectations set out through DYW.
