Aberdeen International Airport and DYW North East to work closely together.
Aberdeen International Airport has successfully enrolled in the Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) Young Person’s Guarantee employer scheme.
The Young Person’s Guarantee is a joint commitment to provide opportunities for all 16-24 year olds in Scotland through jobs, apprenticeships, further and higher education, training programmes and volunteering.
Work already being carried out by Aberdeen International Airport visiting schools to show pathways to the aviation industry has been recognised by DYW North East.
Now, with the help from DYW North East, the north-east’s major transport hub will explore options for modern and graduate apprenticeships in the coming years.
Aberdeen International Airport will also work with business partners to provide work experience opportunities for young people to consider a career in aviation.
Catriona McKain, HR Business Partner at Aberdeen International Airport, said: “We are delighted to announce our commitment to the Young Person’s Guarantee. As an organisation, we believe that investing in young people is an investment in a successful long term future for our company. The Young Person’s Guarantee will make it easier for us to connect with young people.”
Margo Milne, Director, Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) North East said: “Aberdeen International Airport has a strong track record of supporting local school pupils and college students via work experience and site visits. Their new status as a Young Person’s Guarantee employer is a fitting recognition of these efforts. We are excited about working together even more closely in the future to build on our partnership activities.”
