Leading and Communicating

In the Job Centre we had a financial incentive for employers to take on long term unemployed young people, called Wage Incentive (WI). I was the champion for this and responsible for ensuring that job center advisors maximized the use of this incentive. I promoted the incentive at all opportunities by contacting local employers via phone and e-mail. I attended jobs fairs to promote it to potential employers. I encouraged employers to be open to placing candidates by highlighting the financial benefits to their business. I appealed to their sense of social responsibility and by highlighting how they could help reduce the number of long term unemployed people. I liaised with our Employment Relationship managers to keep up to date with the new employment vacancies, and identified what employers required from jobseekers applying for these specific vacancies. On an individual basis I would contact an employer when a jobseeker had an interview and I would coach then about the benefits of WI to help them in their interviews with their potential employers. I also utilized the internal messaging on Universal Job Match accounts to encourage and remind jobseekers to promote WI. At management meetings I shared my approach with my colleagues and conducted coaching sessions with members of my team so they became more effective when speaking to potential employers and coached then on how motivate the job seekers to also promote WI. This resulted in closer ties with local employers and more people securing employment.

Be consistent with "jobseekers" or "job seekers." The two-word version is better.

It would be more powerful if the impact of your efforts could be stated from actual statistics, such as an employment rate increase, the numbers of long-term unemployed decreasing, the number of
