Job-seekers transform Stoke’s waterways
Submitted by CUCT on 26 January 2011, 4:05 pmWaterways in Stoke are being transformed as part of a scheme that gives unemployed people a route back to work.
The scheme is part of the Government’s Future Jobs Fund and is being run by British Waterways in partnership with Groundwork West Midlands and Stoke City Council’s JET (job enterprise and training) project. Eligible individuals have been referred from their local Job centres and placed into teams tasked with carrying out maintenance work on the canals.
