Attention all Leicester city recruitment agencies!

Attention all Leicester city recruitment agencies! We have a urgent need for your help. Due to the current recession, many garment factory workers in the city have lost their employment and are struggling to find new work due to a lack of English language skills. If your agency is able to provide employment opportunities without requiring fluency in English, please reach out to us as soon as possible. These hardworking individuals deserve a chance to support themselves and their families, and we are determined to help them find fulfilling employment.

Please share this post and do your part to help.

If you are a recruitment agency and able to assist, please contact Tarek at 01162531053 or via email at tarek.islam@highfieldscentre.ac.uk. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these deserving individuals.
