BES SUCCESS WITH BUSINESS LINK

24/09/2009

BES has been successful in securing additional funds from Business Link, to help support clients who have been unemployed for over 6 months.
As the largest geographical provider under the Business Link Enterprise programme in The West Midlands, BES has many years of experience in delivering a quality service under the Business Link banner.
BES currently delivers enterprise awareness for start-ups and post start support for businesses up to 12 months old in South Staffordshire and Shropshire for Business Link. Working in association with Jobcentre Plus, the additional funding is aimed at clients who have been unemployed for over 6 months and may be looking to explore the idea of enterprise. The additional funding will make the option of self employment more a reality for these clients who will be able to access extra suport on a 1:1 basis, aswell as networking opportunities and a comprehensive training programme.
CEO for BES, Judith Kirkland commented, "We are delighted Business Link and Jobcentre Plus have recognised the importance of additional support for this client group."
