A COMPANY that provides employment services for disabled people in the North West, including Warrington, has trebled the numbers it supported into work last year.
During the past 12 months Remploy found 3,062 jobs for disabled and disadvantaged people in the region compared with 1,096 the previous year. In Warrington the numbers increased by 67 per cent from 169 to 282.
The company’s regional director of employment services Michael Bishop said: “This is a remarkable achievement in a challenging economic environment with high unemployment and is a tribute to the extensive relationships we have with employers.
“We, and the thousands of companies and organisations with which we work, recognise that employing disabled people delivers real social and economic value for their businesses.”
Almost one in three people supported into work by Remploy had mental health issues or a learning disability, and around three quarters had been out of work for more than 12 months.
The company offers training, support to build client’s confidence and help with CV writing and interview techniques.
