THE North East Employer Coalition (NEEC), part of a network of local employer groups committed to increasing job opportunities for disadvantaged people, has appointed a new recruit to work in the Tees Valley.
EGIZIA CRABBE has joined the team as director from the Regional Skills Partnership.
Ms Crabbe, from Stockton, said: "I like the idea of working for an organisation that is led by employers, is responsive to the needs of the local labour market, and has, via the National Employment Panel, a voice to influence Government policy.
"The North East Employer Coalition has offered me the opportunity to work with local employers and organisations and to instigate and support initiatives for people who are disadvantaged and unemployed that will help them develop their talents and skills towards meeting their potential and obtaining employment," she said.
Howard Forrest, executive director of the NEEC, said: "We are delighted to welcome Egizia to the team. She has a great track record of exploring new skills-led initiatives."
