Big and small together
In a recession where training and skills are going to become ever more important to E8 residents, the voice of small community and training agencies will now be heard along with larger organisations thanks to a new initiative by the Economic Development Network (EDN).
In November the EDN held an event called*’Big and small working together’ which gathered 40 people from small community-based trainers and larger providers like SERCO, all with the aim of securing money from the £500,000 ‘Ways to Work’ programme. The programme funds employment support for unemployed parents and other priority groups. Work by small organisations to help people get jobs is often overlooked by decision makers.
