Wales

Welcome to the Wales Local Employment Partnerships Awards 2009. We are proud to be hosting these awards on 10 March 2009 at the The Millennium Stadium, Cardiff and we want you to be part of the celebrations.

Over the last year employers across Wales have worked with us through Local Employment Partnerships to help thousands of local people back into work. There has been innovation and real commitment to developing people's skills and reaching out to parts of the community that have previously been overlooked.

Linda Badman, Customer Service Director at Jobcentre Plus Wales will be chairing the prestigious judging panel drawn from employment experts across the public and private sector.
