St George says "You're Hired" as it works with P3's talented young apprentices

Britain's youth unemployment rates have continued to rise over recent months, reaching a record high of almost 20%. P3 have been working with the acclaimed property developer, St George since December 2009 to buck this trend by placing candidates from P3's recruitment service - Jobshop - into permanent employment opportunities on St George's Parkwest development. Parkwest, located in West London's Heathrow Quarter, is an award winning development providing employment to hundreds in the region.

Luka Winterborne, Head of Public Relations, marketing & Fundraising at P3 said "Since its inception, The Positive Employment Initiative, launched by St George West London and P3 has been a model example of how big business and voluntary sector organisations can work together in unison on a local level to make a real and long lasting difference to the lives of local people. The economy, employment, prospects, disadvantaged groups; all have been hot topics of 20009 and St George and P3 have effectively launched a project that addresses all of these elements by securing short to long term employment to disadvantaged groups of society, whilst at the same time giving them the necessary skills and attributes to ensure they can maintain long term employment in construction and build a better future for themselves and their families."
