MSP and MEP Visit Working Links

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) and Alyn Smith MEP have recently visited Working Links based in Greenock to discuss how the organisation is helping people in Inverclyde find employment.

Stuart McMillan MSP said;

"This summer I had the chance to visit Working Links to learn about their organisation and what they doing to help people in Inverclyde find employment. Going along with Alyn Smyth MEP was an opportunity to learn some more about the business but also who the EU can play a part in assisting their work here in Inverclyde.

"I know they work hard at providing training and job opportunities but they have operate in a challenging environment. After the recent UK Government spending cuts announcement, even more challenges will be placed upon Working Links and other organisations trying to providing training and work opportunities.

"I would encourage residents in Inverclyde who may be looking for employment advice to contact them Working Links free on 0800 917 9262."

Alyn Smith MEP said;

"The SNP is committed to working with the voluntary sector and business community to tackle unemployment in Scotland and fight the effects of the recession. I enjoyed my recent visit with Stuart to Working Links and was impressed to hear how they have helped 150,000 people change their lives by supporting them into sustainable employment and training.

"Following Westminster cuts in public spending, we discussed various EU funding avenues and other ways in which the EU could assist. It's important that we work together to ensure economic recovery and help hard-working organisations like Working Links get all the support they need."
