JET PROPELLED CITY TO CREATE JOBS.......
A SERVICE which has helped thousands of unemployed people back to work in parts of Liverpool is being expanded across the city.
The JET - Jobs, Education and Training – service started in 1996 to offer practical help in education, training and employment issues. It works with residents and businesses to ensure that local people have the necessary skills to take up jobs in their own community and that business can recruit a workforce with the right skills locally.
Five such schemes have been piloted across Liverpool already, building on their success by linking together to provide a service that operates throughout the city via integration of information available throughout all local resources.
Councillor Mike Storey, Leader of the City Council, spoke at the event with Neil Pakey, Managing Director of the expanding Liverpool Airport.
“The JET Service is a real success story." said Councillor Storey.
“Thousands of people have been helped into work and hundreds of businesses have been able to recruit the right person for the right job.
But we want to build on what has already been achieved and make the service even better for both residents and businesses. In future, the JETS will be providing access to jobs opportunities on a citywide basis.
JETS provide impartial help and advice for those looking for work, employers, training organisations and community groups. They are playing a very important role in the regeneration of Liverpool and their role will increase in importance in the future.
Liverpool is recognised officially as the Capital of Job creation, creating more jobs than in any other English city in the last year outside London. With major developments planned, there will be more investment taking place.
We are determined that these new jobs will go to Liverpool people and the new look JET service will be a key element in helping us achieve that.”
