Connexions Central Vacancy Unit (CVU) are celebrating this
month after filling their 2000th vacancy. The Central Vacancy
Unit manages a FREE vacancy service for all Northamptonshire’s
employers, helping them to recruit and train young people
that are leaving school up to the age of 20.
The unit was set up 5 years ago to help local employers understand
the benefits of recruiting young trainees, funding and training
available and provide them with access to a large pool of
potential employees.
The ‘Vacancy Service’ has proved popular with
many employers in the county. As Connexions is a support service
for young people, one of its main aims is to help young people
into quality work and training. Both employers and many young
people who have been given the opportunity to prove their
potential have seen benefits of using the service.
“We have worked with nearly 1000 employers this year
alone and it is a great achievement that we have successfully
helped 2000 young people into work’” said Kerry
Senatore, CVU Manager.
“We are expecting over 1000 more school leavers to
start looking at work based learning options before the summer
and are already marketing vacancies on behalf of employers
keen to attract eager and enthusiastic young people!”
If you have a vacancy or possible opening for a school leaver
then contact Connexions CVU on 01604 614939 or e-mail CVU@connexions-northamptonshire.org.uk.
