I was appointed Chairman of DYW - Forth Valley in November 2016.Developing the Young Workforce is an industry led initiative supported by the Scottish Government which aims to reduce the level of youth unemployment in Scotland.The project team will provide a single point of contact for employers which will hopefully improve the number of positive destinations for young people when they leave school, college or university.
