Employment scheme graduates and apprentices 2014/15
Summary of Decision:
To recruit 22 local graduates for a one year work placement and 40 apprentices
Proposed Decision:
The Council has set aside funding each year in the Boroughwide Employment Fund to offer paid work placements for local graduates and to create a number of local apprenticeships. This fund has been very successful in helping graduates and apprentices into full time employment either within the Council or with the private sector. All graduates and apprentices are mentored and receive considerable support.
Summary of Reason for Decision:
To support young people into employment
