Auchinlea Retail students land more jobs at Glasgow Fort !!
 The
latest group of students to complete the Auchinlea Retail Training
Programme have received certificates to mark the end of their
college-based training - and the beginning of their future careers!!
Most of the students, who have been studying computing, communications
and customer service skills, are looking forward to moving on
to a range of customer-focussed and retail jobs at the exciting
new Glasgow Fort shopping centre in Easterhouse, just off the
M8 Motorway. Next, Argos and T K Maxx are just a few of the employers
who’ve benefitted from the students’ new skills.
The partnership between Greater Easterhouse Development Company
(GEDC) and John Wheatley College has now successfully produced
four groups of students, most of whom have gone on to carve careers
for themselves at the Glasgow Fort Retail Centre. The fifth training
programme will be commencing on 25th October and is open to all
local residents who feel they might benefit from some basic part-time
training to brush up their skills before applying for jobs.
Chief Executive of the Greater Easterhouse Development Company,
Ronnie Saez, said,
“The strong partnership between the employers, ourselves
and the College has helped local residents to take advantage of
the remarkable job opportunities here on their doorstep. With
the support of European Social Funding, the Auchinlea Retail Skills
Programme has ensured that the Glasgow Fort development has maximum
positive impact at a very local level, with excellent knock-on
effects for the rest of the local and wider communities. Congratulations
and well done to these successful students!”
The delighted students were presented with their certificates
by Alan Inglis, Assistant Principal of John Wheatley College,
who remarked,
“It’s great to see our students progressing on to
steady, well-paid jobs in their local community and the College
is very proud of what each one has achieved so far with the commitment
of themselves and our staff. We’re looking forward to supporting
the next group of learners on this innovative programme.”
