A PACE (Partnership Action for Continuing Employment) drop-in session will be held this week for employees affected by the appointment of liquidators at Irvine-based firm Andrew Wright Windows.
North Ayrshire Council’s employability delivery partner, CEiS Ayrshire, will host the session at their office in Landek House, 44-46 Bank St, Irvine KA12 0LP, on Wednesday, 13 August.
This will be a drop-in session from 9am–5pm and staff from Skills Development Scotland (SDS), CEIS, DWP (Jobcentre), and North Ayrshire Council will be in attendance.
A number of PACE partners will be available throughout the day to provide careers advice and employability support (CV preparation, job search and interview techniques), benefits advice, and information on funding for training.
Quote: We are deeply saddened by the recent developments at Andrew Wright Windows and the impact on the employees. Our employability team and our partners will offer whatever advice and support we can. Local employers have already been in touch with the Council to promote current vacancies and we are in the process of creating a vacancy bulletin which will hopefully help employees find new employment.”
Quote from: Councillor Tony Gurney, Cabinet Member for Green Environment and Economy
