Early success for Jobs for Haringey

Publication date: Monday 11 June 2012

Six unemployed residents are looking forward to the world of work thanks to Haringey Council’s ground-breaking Jobs for Haringey project.

With backing from the Haringey Jobs Fund, the team of Tottenham residents have this week started in new positions with Thorns, based in Brantwood Road, Tottenham.

Events supplies company Thorns was one of the first local companies to sign up to the council’s ambitious scheme to tackle the jobs crisis head-on through support for new positions and help with training and employment support.

Cllr Alan Strickland, Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Social Inclusion, said:

We’re just a few weeks into the Jobs for Haringey scheme and already we’re seeing young people who have been unemployed for some time finding their way into work.

I’m delighted for these six young people and wish them all the very best in their new careers.

Let’s be clear that this is just the beginning.We are committed to helping hundreds of Haringey residents into lasting employment and we look forward to seeing this scheme go from strength-to-strength with more new jobs and the creation of a Haringey work force up to the challenge of filling those vacancies.

Further interviews for positions with Thorns are already in the pipeline, while interviews and working links with other companies are also being set up.
