Job Recruitment Bury

In common with much of the North West, Bury has benefited from concerted governmental drives to kick start the economy. There are schemes to enable local residents better access to training, provision of small business incentives and a host of measures aimed at attracting larger investment and thus creating employment.

The Bury Employment Group, chaired by Jobcentre Plus, was formed in November 2004, and aims to network workplace training providers and thereby raise skill levels and gear training toward the specific needs of local employers.

In the competitive marketplace, there are obvious benefits to gaining extra skills, and this may be undertaken whilst looking for work. Recruitment agencies that are familiar with the locality should also be able to provide guidance on local training schemes, and present a clear picture of what skills local employers are looking for. The major types of skilled employment in the locality include information technology, web-programming and digital services, secretarial, clerical and administrative work, and there are plenty of opportunities for gaining the qualifications necessary to find work in these arenas.
