Developing the Young Workforce (DYW)

A focus on gradually preparing children and young people for employment forms a core element of our curriculum at Wallacewell Primary School.

• P1-3 children develop knowledge of work through playful learning and enquiry
• P4-7 children develop skills for enterprise and employment.
• P5-7 use the My World of Work online resource to explore their strengths, goals and career options.
• Parents are signposted to the My Kid’s Career website to help them engage with their children about career options.
• Staff work with a wide range of business partners/employers to co-design and deliver DYW opportunities throughout the session.
• We benefit from a number of parent volunteers, who come into school to share their work experience with the children throughout the year.

If you think you can support our school with DYW please contact one of our DYW Coordinators – Mrs Wightman (PT) and Miss Jardine (PEF PT).
