TAYLOR Wimpey West Scotland has announced it has committed to the Young Person’s Guarantee scheme, which provides opportunities for 16-24-year-olds in Scotland through jobs, apprenticeships, further and higher education, training programmes and volunteering.
With the support of the firm’s local Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) group/local partner, the housebuilder said revealed it plans to promote its management trainee, graduate and apprenticeship vacancies.
Taylor Wimpey West Scotland will also be engaging with local schools to create work experience opportunities and encourage more young people to consider careers in construction and housebuilding.
