Developing the Young Workforce Group has been launched in the Inverness & Central Highland area. Formally approved in March and led by local employers, the team will be working closely with our key partners at Inverness College, Highland Council Education and Skills Development Scotland.
Engaging with employers, schools and other partners to further develop opportunities around recruiting more young people and promoting diversity in the workplace. Whether its supporting work experience or providing Modern Apprenticeships there is a role to play for employers which will support our young people and provide a strong talent pool that will support succession for successful Highland Businesses.
Many activities are planned and these will be led by the Inaugural Developing the Young Workforce Award in the Highland Business Awards 2016 and a showcase at Highland Spotlight, a business to business exhibition. Both of these events form part of the Highland Business Week which starts on Monday 26th of September.
The team are now in place and looking forward to working with the local community in delivering real career opportunities in the Highlands. To get involved please contact the Inverness & Central Highland DYW team at
