PARTY leaders David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband are backing the Northwich, Winsford and Middlewich Guardian’s campaign to bring jobs to mid Cheshire.

This exciting new initiative, called Action For Jobs, will be officially launched in next week’s paper and aims to give you all the information and inspiration you need to get the job you want.

Our new dedicated recruitment section will help bring together employers and education providers to help people find work and develop career opportunities.

Our news team will be focusing on the local jobs market and showcasing career and training opportunities available in mid Cheshire.

Prime Minister David Cameron said: “This is a fantastic initiative by the Northwich, Winsford and Middlewich Guardian to help people who want to work hard and get on. Our economy is on the mend, but there is still more to do as we move from rescue to recovery.

“By bringing together employers, colleges and business groups at a local level, people can hear about new opportunities, share experiences and progress at every stage of their career."

Ed Miliband MP, Labour’s leader, said: “Action for Jobs is a brilliant campaign. This initiative will hopefully get more people in work at a time when opportunities are not easy to come by. There is a generation of young people currently feeling let down. By promoting businesses, schools and colleges and boosting the number of apprenticeships on offer, this campaign could help get the local economy back on track. This is One Nation Labour – on the side of hard working people.”

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: “Getting young people working is one of my top priorities, so I am fully behind the Guardian’s campaign.

“As a Lib Dem in Government, I’ve been working hard to help more companies of all sizes to take on young people. That’s why we have overseen a massive increase in apprenticeships and why I introduced the Wage Incentive as part of the Youth Contract to give cash to businesses when they take on someone aged 18 to 24, so that they can afford to train them and give them jobs that last.”

Editor Carla Flynn said: “By working with key stakeholders such as councils, colleges and local employers we hope Action for Jobs will provide the information and guidance people need to get the jobs of their choice.

“We have also launched a number of initiatives to try to stimulate more jobs in the area too – so check out our recruitment section for further information.”
