Big deal?
Article Abstract:
The Welfare to Work scheme has been in operation for one year and the Department for Education and Employment claims that 100,000 unemployed people have started work, training or voluntary work through the scheme, while 40,000 employers have participated. The hospitality industry expects 750 jobs to be created because Whitbread, Stakis, Thistle, Bass and Forte have agreed to work with the Employment Service on New Deal. The companies hope that they will manage to attract more motivated staff.
