Employ-Ability

The first mince pie of the season - at the Employ-Ability AGM at the Latton Bush Centre. Employ-Ability helps people with disabilities or mental health problems find work, and supports them through the process of job-seeking, interview and induction.

The presentation of the annual report and accounts is brought to life by a couple of real-life stories - of a young woman making a real success of employment with a neighbouring local authority; and of a young man whose placement didn't work out so well. Not every story has a happy ending - but two thirds of Employ-Ability's clients are found work, and two thirds of those are still in post further down the line.
