The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) has paired up with local businesses in Stirling and Alloa to provide more job opportunities.

DWP member and Jobcentre spokesperson Erin Schepers spoke about the fresh jobs that'll open doors for those looking for work - from apprenticeships to training schemes.

She said: "Stirling and Alloa are kicking off the year with powerful momentum, as employers across the region re‑engage with DWP and unlock a wave of fresh opportunities for local jobseekers.

"With major recruitment restarting, new employer partnerships forming, and high‑quality training pathways expanding, early 2026 is shaping up to be a transformative period for customers ready to take their next step into work.”

One of these pathways comes from a wave of opportunities that are being set up through Robertson’s Apprenticeships in Stirling.

Robertson’s goal is to open doors into construction and infrastructure for those new to the sector.

DWP has partnered with global drinks brand Diageo as well to provide apprentice cooper and apprentice Engineer roles to potential workers in Alloa.

Central Traffic Management (CTM) has also opened up a two week programme in Throsk that will provide a launching pad for those looking to work as a Road Marking Operative.

Training opportunities for high demand roles such as Adult Social Care and Construction are planned to take place as new jobs begin to roll out.

The first employment event will take place on March 4 at the Stirling Jobcentre, employers will be given the chance to engage with a set of new jobseekers during this event.
