South Manchester businesses encouraged to employ local

Leading businesses in south Manchester have been called upon to support local people and community causes by a new network.

The Employment, Training & Communities (ETC) has been initiated by affordable housing contractor Wates Living Space, Manchester City Council’s South Regeneration team and Southway Housing Trust.

Businesses in Didsbury, Chorlton, Whalley Range, Withington, Fallowfield, Burnage and Levenshulme are being encouraged by the initiative to employ local people who are currently out of work or looking for training into a new career path.

Regional Director for Wates Living Space, Lee Sale, commented: “We’re really pleased to be launching the ETC scheme in partnership with Manchester City Council and Southway Housing Trust.

“There are currently over 10,000 people looking for work in south Manchester and we’re hopeful this scheme will take big strides in helping people into employment or training and encouraging volunteers to take part in local good causes.

“We thoroughly recommend businesses in south Manchester sign up to this progressive cause.”
