New website helps teens into cleaning
December 18th 2006

School and college leavers are one click closer to finding their dream career with the launch of www.findyourway.co.uk – Asset Skills new web site aimed specifically for 14-25 year olds, providing guidance on career opportunities available within the cleaning industry, as well as useful hints and tips on interview techniques and signposts to other organisations who can offer help.

The site is designed to help those considering their future careers make sense of the variety of opportunities available, and provide straightforward info on the industry, a selection of job roles, salary expectations and career opportunities.

Asset Skills Education Industry Coordinator, Lisa Hartnell comments: “We hope the new website will help to attract young people into a career in cleaning and raise awareness of the possible progression routes they can follow once there. It will help to promote an industry that may not have previously been considered by those leaving school or higher education”. Contractors wishing to get involved (and fill vacancies) should contact Asset Skills.
