At DYW Borders we have welcomed a School Coordinator who will be working in Selkirk and Kelso High School.

Read below to find out a little bit more about Chloe:

“I have a passion for bridging the gap between education and employment, as a young woman myself I understand the barriers young people face when trying to gain employment. I hold experience in working with young people and supporting them in achieving set goals as a former sports coach, graduating with a HND through Borders College. My experience in coaching has highlighted the ability to motivate and inspire which is part of the formula for excellence. I believe this will encourage the young people I work with to strive for success in the working world. I look forward to fabricating innovative ideas to allow pupils and employers to engage with one another.”

​Welcome to the team! 

Helen is excited to help bridge the gap between school and industry, bringing with her 30 years of teaching experience in Primary and Secondary Schools. 

She is passionate about helping young people reach their potential regardless of the path they take.  Her own experience with young people gives her an insight into the barriers there can be and she is enthusiastic about finding ways to overcome them.

Helen has good interpersonal skills and looks forward to engaging with businesses and industries to forge new partnerships ensuring the best options are available for all young people.
