Choice Jobs Progress Report

4th of February, 2010

The Sub Regional Unit is leading on a Pan London project to help drive up the number of vacancies for young people.

 

The latest progress report shows a 35% increase on the number of jobs notified to Connexions Services in comparison to 08/09 figures. More local authorities and IAG providers are realising the potential of the Choice Jobs function and have committed to establishing systems and processes to support local employer liaison.

 

Over 40% of vacancies for London have been provided by the South London Sub- Region.

 

Marcelle Neil, Choice Jobs Development Manager, commented “it’s such a privilege to contribute to this area of work, especially in such uncertain times for young people.”

 

The Sub Regional Unit is also involved in a National Apprenticeships Service project with Connexions which is due to run until March 2010. This project is primarily involved with increasing uptake of Apprenticeships and focuses on employer engagement as well as working with young people highlighting the benefits of an Apprenticeship.
