The 2008 edition of Fife
Employability Network's Directory of Opportunities for Disabled People in
Fife is now available so don't miss out on this essential pocket
guide. It's a handy pocket sized booklet that gives brief details and
contacts for well over 100 agencies in Fife that people with disabilities
might find helpful if they're looking for information on getting back to
work, getting involved in learning, volunteering or getting in touch with
other people to help them build up confidence.
"There's a lot of support, advice
and information available in Fife
for people with disabilities," said Fife Employability Network's Development
Co-ordinator, Sandra Wilson. "But people sometimes don't know where to
start. Our directory tries to guide people with disabilities through the
process of getting back to work or learning and to give them information on
where they can find out more. It's also a handy booklet for people working
with people with disabilities - and for local businesses who want to enjoy
the economic benefits of a diverse workforce. The other good thing is that
it's free and can be picked up in Opportunity Centres, Jobcentres and other
local venues, or by phoning 01592 583378."
Fife Employability Network is a
partnership of statutory and voluntary agencies in Fife
working with and for people with disabilities. The network aims to raise
awareness of the skills people with disabilities can bring to the workplace
to make it easier for them to find and keep jobs or take part in learning.
"FenLink, our information and
signposting service, puts you in touch with the person or agency who can
best help you," Sandra continued. "It's a good starting point for people
with disabilities, people who work with them, businesses and family and
friends. We might also be able to help with Kit for Work, our assistive
technology loan scheme to help people with disabilities start or stay in
work."
So, don't miss out on your copy of
the 2008 Fife Employability Network Directory. Pick one up free of charge
from your local Opportunity Centre or Jobcentre, or contact Fife
Employability Network at FenLink on 01592 583378 or email
[email protected]. You can also
