Baroness Sayeeda Warsi,
said:
“I really enjoyed visiting Seetec and
seeing for myself how people on a range of benefits are given the
help and support they need to find their way back to work.
Job losses and people finding jobs are not about statistics.
What this Government is interested in is changing people’s lives by
getting them a job that’s right for them and they stay in.
That’s why we’re using the very best
providers that are out there, such as Seetec in Norwich, to deliver
our new Work Programme and offer tailored support to get people
back into employment.”
Jeremy Nutter, Seetec Chief Executive
said :
“We were delighted to be able to welcome
Baroness Warsi to our Norwich centre earlier today and to be able
to show her around the delivery of our Work Programme. It is
greatly appreciated when politicians visit our operations as it is
an enormous source of encouragement for our staff and customers.
Baroness Warsi appeared genuinely interested in hearing first hand
the stories and experiences of our customers and seeing how the
Work Programme works in practice”.
