DYW @ BraidhurstWhat is DYW?

Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) is a seven-year programme (2014-2021) that aims to

better prepare children and young people aged 3–18 for the world of work. It has a focus on

improving work experience, careers information, advice and guidance and providing greater

access to vocational learning. This programme builds on the foundations already in place as part

of Curriculum for Excellence. The programme’s headline aim is to reduce youth unemployment by

40% by 2021.

How are we tackling the DYW agenda at Braidhurst High School?

At Braidhurst, we are fully committed to supporting our pupils on the pathway to a positive

destination. Throughout BGE and the Senior Phase, we have designed a specifically tailored

approach to ensure all of our pupils develop skills for life and work. Our DYW wall (shown above)

shows the pathway that each pupil will undertake to allow them to develop various skills that will

prepare them for whatever career pathway they choose.

Currently throughout BGE, pupils work towards gaining accreditations, through our ASDAN

Awards, to build their personal statements from a young age. Every pupil from S1 upwards will

utilise My World of Work and have their profile stored online. Our pupils will also have the

opportunity to attend events that will enhance their knowledge of their chosen career path.

As pupils move towards the Senior Phase, S4 pupils will undertake specific CV writing through

PSHE prior to a mock interview evening. S4 pupils will also experience their work placement or be

part of our Skills for Life & Work Programme – a programme designed to provide pupils with

further opportunities to develop core skills and gain recognised awards. Moving to S5/6, pupils

are split into PSHE groups determining their chosen career pathway and are supported by staff

and other agencies.

DYW @ BraidhurstWhat is our Vision by 2021?

● DYW is fully embedded into our curriculum from S1-6 and our pupils recognise

the pathway they are on.

● All pupils are provided with an opportunity to have a work placement between

S4-6.

● Braidhurst will work in close cohesion with at least five strategic partners –

providing extended work placements, workshops and presentations on a

consistent basis.

● Braidhurst will increase its positive destination from 87.6% to a minimum of

95%.
