DYW Interesting practice: All exemplars published so far
In the third year the implementation of the DYW Youth Employment strategy we are seeing an increasing amount of creative and dynamic work coming to the fore in this area. We would like to share some of this with you through our ‘interesting practice exemplars’ in order to inspire thinking and discussion.
