Sign of regeneration
A new multi-media directory will help to get more local people into jobs.
South Liverpool Signpost 2008 is a tool which will help develop the local economy and enterprise by offering a comprehensive directory of training and employment services in the area.
It will give potential employers a complete overview of opportunities available in the South Liverpool area and hopefully attract new investment.
Councillor Marilyn Fielding, Liverpool's executive member for Safer, Stronger Communities said: "We want to increase economic activity in all areas of the city. But South Liverpool is a particular priority for the council as in areas such as Speke there is a higher level of people out of work compared to the rest of the city.
"By putting everyone concerned in the area's regeneration on one easy-to-use directory, we hope to work with business and the community to transform South Liverpool into an economic hotspot."
South Liverpool Signpost is a massive database that has been brought about by the South Liverpool JET Service (Jobs, Employment & Training). It is available via the Internet and aims to fit in with the council's overall Employment Plan for Liverpool.
The Liverpool Employment Plan has the overall strategic aim of giving all residents to secure quality, sustainable employment, and develop skills ensuring the future competitiveness of the Liverpool economy.
