Employers
DYW Moray team support local and national employers to make it easy to work schools and our local college. We also support employers with recruitment advice including information on apprenticeships.
We work with any organisation, small to large, in any sector – private, public or third, and with those who are self-employed. If you would like to engage with young people in schools and college, then please get in touch.
What are the benefits?
- Give back to young people. Think back to when you were at school. What would have benefited you back then by engaging with employers? Can you give our young people today some of your time to better prepare them for the workplace?
- Build your talent pipeline. Access your future talent early and raise awareness of what your workplace has to offer. It’s a competitive environment to find the right staff for your workplace – the earlier you engage with them, the better.
- Enhance your brand reputation. Demonstrate your commitment to your community and corporate social responsibility.
- Better engage your employees. Increase your staff morale through mentoring and volunteering. Many people really enjoy working with young people and this is an opportunity to do exactly that.
- Grow your business. Foster innovation and glean new perspectives from young talent. Young people are creative, harness this and utilise it to grow your business.
