Jersey Employment Trust
The Jersey Employment Trust (JET) is a registered charity that helps people who have a disability or long-term health condition secure and sustain employment. Through partnering with Digital Jersey for the TechAwards JET are hoping to raise awareness of what they do in the digital sector.
There is growing demand for IT roles from JET clients but there is difficulty finding the work and training opportunities in what can be quite a niche market.
In order to decide what area they want to specialise in, some clients need a taster in different areas, whether that is switchboard, web design or coding. It’s a competitive market and when a candidate has a disability, it makes it tough for JET clients to get a foothold to demonstrate their abilities.
This is an untapped workforce, and yet there are some really talented individuals. Members of Digital Jersey can take this opportunity to create a space and open up the dialogue so that you think of JET when recruiting or if you need help with job retention. JET job-match very specifically and pride themselves on getting the right fit.
There are many other ways that you may be able to support JET or they may be able to help you. Let’s open doors and have a chat and a coffee. Please get in touch by emailing [email protected].
