Welcome to the September 2007 edition of the Labour Market Focus e-bulletin and website! As always, this e-bulletin and our website has lots of useful information and links to help you to inform your clients of opportunities out there.
We are currently looking for real-life examples of how the bulletin is being used by IAG professionals to support their work. If you have an interesting example, that perhaps could be used as a short case study, please use feedback button on the left of the screen to tell us about it, or to ask us to call you so that you can explain in your own words!
