Employers urged to make ‘young people your business’

Local businesses are being invited along to an event to find out more about the advantages in employing young people aged 16 – 24.

The Make Young People Your Business breakfast event will provide the opportunity for local businesses to obtain information on services and support available to them when employing young people.

The event, sponsored by The Orcadian, is being organised by the Youth Employment Group, which is a sub group of Orkney Community Planning Partnership’s Employability Strategic Group.

The event takes place on Thursday, July 18, in the Kirkwall Community Centre between 9am and 11am. To confirm your attendance contact Kay Hume at Skills Development Scotland on kay.hume@sds.co.uk or phone 872460.
