02/20/2011 While government departments are shedding staff
this year in a bid to meet new fiscal rationalisation guidelines, one
giant of the private sector will be augmenting its ranks prodigiously.
Microsoft
has promised to establish 4000 jobs in Great Britain this year, in
addition to the 9000 positions it has made available in the past two
years. Britain Works
was the scheme the corporation launched in 2009, and via that
initiative, skilled apprenticeship offers are extended to IT prospects,
together with assistance to entrepreneurs to set up new business
ventures.
"That's not counting," said Gordon Frazer, Microsoft's UK's
managing director, "the training that the scheme accords people who
want to train for existing positions."
Respected executive employment
consultancy UK Knack Group's managing director attended a meeting of
business leaders at the Prime Minister's house in Downing Street early
this week, and commented, "Frazer's on the right track. His training
scheme gets young blokes off the dole queue, out of that welfare
dependency mind-set and sets them up with useful skills in the
fastest-growing industry of our age. That's with invaluable assistance from the National Apprenticeship Service."
It
is Microsoft's intention to have established also within the next four
months - as well as the technical support apprenticeship - new technical
sales and software development apprenticeships for the brighter
recruits.
UK Knack Group's managing director concluded his remarks by
saying, "What impresses me most is that Microsoft has set a target of
assisting half a million people into work by next year." The UK Knack
