"The Institute of Directors is delighted to be working closely with Determined to Succeed because we believe the involvement of business is crucial to its relevance and success. It is very important for Scotland that our young people get a genuine understanding of business and commerce – see its value and want to get involved.
"Only with active participation from the key individuals who actually deliver success in their organisations right now will young people be able to fully understand what is possible. We believe that enhanced employer and education links will make today's young people more work ready and instil in them a can do, will do attitude, whilst re-assuring employers of the fantastic potential of our young people."
David Watt, Executive Director
