Taylor Wimpey West Scotland To Future-Proof Its Workforce

Construction News Image
Taylor Wimpey West Scotland has committed to future-proofing its workforce with the Young Person's Guarantee 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.

With the support of our local DYW group/local partner, we plan to promote our management trainee, graduate and apprenticeship vacancies. Through this partnership, we'll also be engaging with local schools to create work experience opportunities and encourage more young people to consider a career in the house building and construction industry.

It also plans to open four more developments this year including over 500 homes at Meadowside in Glenboig.

David Blair, Managing Director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland said: "We are pleased 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."
