Changes to the Statistics

• The statistics can be affected by various
  elements
• Redundancy
• Ill Health
• Leaving school or college
• People moving into the area
• Relationship breakdown

5
Something to consider

• 80 of public service resources in Cornwall are
  spent on 20 of the people and families in crisis
• Working with this 20 will in theory increase
  the available resources throughout our area.

Some of our Partners

• Residents Associations
• Health Professionals, Trainers Champions
• District Council Homelessness Officers

The Employer Engagement Team

• Our role is simple.
• To meet with local employers
• Listen to what they say about their staff,
  training and recruitment
• Establish what the problems are
• Try and identify a solution
• Understand all the provisions that are out there
  and refer appropriately

12
What do we do differently?

•  
• WE LISTEN MORE THAN WE TALK
• We have two ears and one tongue so that we
  would listen more and talk less.
• Diogenes (404-323BC)
• (Greek Philosopher Cynic)
• We are already learning about the kind of
  problems businesses face when recruiting.

13
What have we done so far?

• Networknetworknetwork!
• We actively engage with businesses and employers
  (over 100 in 8 weeks)
• Regular breakfast meetings with the Business
  League (weekly networking)
• The FSB Conference
• Linking partners together and creating a stronger
  network for all

14
What have we learned?
Employers are fed up with all the logos
They dont have the timeor the energyto care!
15
So what do they want?

• One point of contact for all the provisions
  available
• Staff that come with essential life skills
• Staff that come with basic key skills
• Increased Retention (in-work support for new
  staff)
• Staff that come with real Vocational Skills - not
  Qualifications

16
Therefore we offer

• The set up and full management of Work Experience
  placements
• In work support for up to 6 months
• An umbrella style of contact we will identify
  what they need and only then suggest a solution
  (they wont see all those logos!)
• Honest matching of customers to vacancies
  (working the agenda of the employer not our
  own)
