Employers

Scotland’s employers being asked to get behind the Young Person’s Guarantee

Could you help provide opportunities for Scotland’s young people?

Young people and employers have been some of the hardest hit by the pandemic.

For employers, there is help to develop a future pipeline of skills and experience with young people at the heart of the workforce. Young people bring organisations a wealth of talent, creativity, and enthusiasm, critical now and for future success.

Employers can get involved with Young Person’s Guarantee in up to 5 ways:

• Prepare young people for the world of work
• Create opportunities for young people who face the greatest barriers to work
• Invest in a skilled workforce through apprenticeships, training and upskilling opportunities
• Create jobs and opportunities suitable for 16-24 year olds
• Ensure a work environment which supports all young people and provides fair work

And to help you get involved, you can access a range of funding and support. 

If you are interested in being a part of The Young Persons Guarantee in West Dunbartonshire, please contact YPG@west-dunbarton.gov.uk for further details.
