PRESS RELEASE
JOBS UP FOR GRABS Anyone looking for a job, skills training or learning opportunities should get to Castlemilk on Thursday 18 April. An exciting Jobs Fair and SUfI recognition of the dynamic resource centre will be held in the premises of Castlemilk Economic Development Agency (CEDA) in Glenwood Business Centre, Castlemilk, Glasgow. More than a dozen companies will have jobs on offer. They range from Cruden Estates who are building in the area, to Cherry Tree Nursery who have childcare vacancies. CEDA itself will be showing the wide range of jobs, training and learning openings it has. Anyone - particularly those who live in the G45 postcode area - can register with CEDA on the day to give them access to the best possible help and advice. Said David Coyne, Chief Executive of CEDA , 'The main philosophy behind the Jobs Fair is to highlight the flexibility we have to support people, both personally and professionally, in making the right choice for their future. There are also great employment opportunities in the Housing Investment Programme in Glasgow and other growth sectors in the city. The Action Teams for Jobs will channel these opportunities and allow CEDA to deliver services in an increasingly flexible and responsive way.' The all-day event will start at 10.30am when the resource centre will be presented with a SUfi plaque in recognition of the fact that through it, almost 200 people are engaged in lifelong learning. Paul Cassidy, the ICT Co-ordinator at CEDA, commented, 'Learning is made easy through SUfi and our Resource Centre. On the Jobs Fair day we can show anyone interested, just how easy it is to access learning and how technology actually brings people together through learning.' Organised by CEDA staff, the event will highlight how the Action Teams are working to remove some of the most stubborn pockets of high unemployment and disadvantage. Mark Brown is a good example of how effective such support can be. A printer since leaving school, he was made redundant for the third time aged 31. He registered with CEDA and through guidance interviews chose a new career in social care. He took part in an employer-led training programme and is now a support worker for Fair Deal for 1 in 100. Said Mark, 'My experience with CEDA and the Action Teams for Jobs has been very positive.' FURTHER INFORMATION
