L-R Maja Williams CTO Pamaya, John Griffiths AM, Paul Williams MD Pamaya

John discussed the services that Careers Wales and the ReAct scheme have provided Pamaya over the last six months.
ReAct  is a Welsh Assembly funded incentive which provides employers with funding towards training new staff who have been made redundant.
Pamaya have found that the ReAct scheme was very responsive and that the turnaround for applications was within 3 working days.

Pamaya  also commented on Careers Wales where Pamaya’s positions have been advertised.  Careers Wales have been so busy with the current economic downturn it seems that they are significantly under resourced. John commented that new Welsh Assembly Policies and Funding have been put in place to address these issues so that a more consultative approach can be implemented.  This will be a huge benefit to ALL businesses in Wales as this approach will attempt to replicate a more commercial environment which will compete with recruitment agencies thus alleviating significant charges.

A good meeting was had by both John Griffiths and Pamaya , its is good to know that The Welsh Assembly do take time out to interact with business (and not just from a political point of view).
