This month, DYW West was pleased to take part in Renfrewshire Employability Month, with a fantastic range of employers welcoming young people from across the area to experience the world of work.

Throughout the month, pupils took part in employer talks, workplace tours and activities, giving them valuable insight into different industries, career opportunities and the skills needed for the workplace.

A huge thank you to all the employers who supported:

Scottish Leather Group – hosting pupils from St Benedict’s, Gryffe High School and Mary Russell School
Howden – hosting pupils from Renfrew High School

City Gate Construction – hosting pupils from Park Mains High School and Trinity High School

Braehead and GRID – hosting pupils from Paisley Grammar School and Linwood High School

Thank you to all the employers and schools involved for helping to create meaningful opportunities for young people across Renfrewshire.

Recently, Scottish Leather Group welcomed pupils from Gryffe High School, St Benedict’s High School and Mary Russell School for talks and tours at their site in Bridge of Weir.

These experiences give young people a valuable insight into the workplace, helping them discover different career pathways and understand the opportunities available within local businesses.

A massive thank you to Rhona and the team at Scottish Leather Group for providing another fantastic experience for our young people and continuing to support the next generation of talent.
