Brilliant to hear about all the positive qualities and skills that our customers bring to businesses that join the #Kickstart scheme. Fantastic to see how what was an initial placement has led to opportunities for further work and to grow as professionals.

Pleased to hear about the outcomes from two fantastic #Kickstart recruitment events last week. In #Leith Jobcentre, 48 customers were offered a job start or an interview. Great to have the support from Edinburgh Chamber to advocate on their linked employers’ behalf.

Well Done to the team at #BuryJCP who celebrated their #Race4Jobs success, they were awarded for delivering exceptional service to our customers. Keep up the great work! 👏👍
