Ten young people are currently participating in a Get Ready for Work programme being run by Glasgow West Regeneration Agency. They have participated in various personal development activities designed to help them into the workplace.

GRFW is an opportunity for young people to work within real work environments, trying out skill areas that are of interest to them.
Five of the young people are currently on work placements with the remainder to go on placement within the next two weeks. Placements have been secured in retail, childcare, electrical work and car mechanics.

One of the activities involved the renaming of the Cyberspace facility at GWRA - watch out for further details in future issues of the Glasgow News.

The young people have also involved in the recruitment process for new members of staff for the GWRA youth team. They have been sitting on interview panels and also meeting all the candidates being interviewed.
