Financial
services is one of the sectors featured in a new virtual skills
academy created by Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) to support
young people into employment and apprenticeships throughout the
pandemic.
'Get
Industry Ready' comprises five on-line sessions throughout July and
August, with activities and employability experiences supported by
industry.
The first
on-line event is on 13th July, so young people interested in
attending should register here by 12th

key sectors and career opportunities emerging from Covid-19.
Week two

sessions on cyber security, customer service, GDPR, health and
safety, life at work and resilience in the workplace. Young people
will also get CV feedback from industry professionals and the
option of a mock interview session.
A series of

helping them support young people taking their next steps from
school. The first parents/carers event is on 7th July and those
