DYW Fife – connecting employers with young people and education.
DYW Fife plays a key part in the delivery of the Young Person’s Guarantee.
We are employer led and it’s our priority to make it easier for employers to connect with young people in schools and colleges across Fife.
It’s a team effort to support young people to prepare for the world of work. Through DYW Fife, employers can provide inspirational opportunities for young people to help them understand and develop the skills they need to succeed.
Get involved to influence education and help shape the future workforce Scotland needs.

“During the first stages of the Raising Attainment Pilot, we have seen all of our pupils grow in confidence. Already, the feedback from pupils has been great, with one saying, ‘I thought I was going to leave school and have nothing to do and nowhere to go. Working through this Foundation Apprenticeship has shown me that I am really good with my hands, and now I’d really like to go into a trade’ – we couldn’t ask for a better result!”
