“In Fife we have many multinational companies on our doorstep and when our pupils hear from local business leaders on their career and how they got there, I regularly see a tangible change in how the young people then see themselves and the opportunities available to them. Meeting real people with real experiences from our local area helps them to see that their career aspirations are achievable. From this exchange, many are encouraged to have higher expectations of themselves and what they can achieve in their careers, some of them for the very first time. It is seeing that increase in ambition, direction and drive as a result of the information they have gained from DYW activities within school that is undoubtedly one of the best parts of my job.”
