🎉 Milne’s Primary P5–7 Careers Fair! 🎉
As part of the 250 years of Fochabers celebrations, pupils spent yesterday afternoon meeting local employers and learning about the skills, qualities and roles that keep our community thriving.
They asked fantastic questions and gained real insight into the world of work in their area.

💙 The impact of DYW Moray is reflected in stories like Evie’s

At school, Evie didn’t have a clear plan for what came next, and she felt unsure when many of her peers headed straight to university. After trying college and realising it wasn’t the right fit, she made the brave decision to step away and explore other options.

That choice led her to an apprenticeship with Harper MacLeod LLP, where she completed her qualification in just 10 months before progressing into her current role as a Property Assistant.

For Evie, DYW Moray plays an important role in helping young people understand that there’s more than one route into the workplace. Hearing real stories and seeing different pathways helps pupils feel confident exploring what’s right for them, even if they don’t have everything figured out straight away.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that being honest about what isn’t working can open the door to what does.

We’re proud to support journeys like Evie’s, and we’re committed to continuing to share the real stories that help young people across Moray shape their future.

Today, we said goodbye to Scott McLennan as he stepped down from the DYW Moray Board following his move to Aberdeen.👋🏻

Throughout his time with DYW Moray, Scott has been a passionate supporter of our mission, bringing valuable insight, encouragement and a real commitment to strengthening connections between education and industry. His contribution has helped shape our work and support opportunities for young people and employers across Moray.

Pictured with DYW Moray Chair, Scott Dunbar, we'd like to thank Scott for the time, expertise and enthusiasm he has given to the Board. While we're sorry to see him leave the region, we wish him every success for the future.🙌🏼

Thank you, Scott, for everything you've done for DYW Moray. We hope our paths cross again!
