About Us

content

DYW Moray was founded in 2016 as part of the national Developing the Young Workforce Strategy launched by Scottish Government in 2014.

We work closely with key partners to plan, support, and take a proactive, collaborative approach to engaging with young people across Moray.

We believe that the long-term success of Moray’s economy depends on building the right talent pipeline today. That means developing the right skills, attitudes, and experiences in our young people and doing it in partnership with the very employers who will shape their futures.

DYW Moray aims to bring education and employers together, inspiring tomorrows workforce.
