Developing the Young Workforce
The involvement of the private sector is central to the current youth employment strategy, Developing the Young Workforce, launched in December 2014:
Fundamentally, this is about ensuring a work relevant educational experience for our young people…It is about employers playing an active role, both shaping and benefiting from Scotland's education system by helping to create the talent pool they need and recruiting young employees.ihttps://www.gov.scot/publications/developing-young-workforce-scotlands-youth-employment-strategy/
As part of the strategy, a number of industry-led regional Invest in Young People Groups were established with the aim of strengthening partnerships between employers and education providers.
