Skills for Kintyre

From time to time HIE Argyll and the Islands receive enquiries about the availability of labour for particular industry sectors and is currently handling two such requests for a local skills assessment of the Campbeltown area.

The expressions of interest are for the following skills; contact centre skills including call-handling, customer service, basic IT and team-working, and sewing and cutting skills for the textile industry.

If you have experience in this type of work, you are invited to contact HIE Argyll and the Islands to register your interest and/or your availability for work. Your personal details will not be shared with any third party without your permission. While we are unable to pass on individual skills information eg CVs to prospective employers, the collated input will help us to quantify the available labour force and allow us to provide this information to potential employers.

To register your interest in working in these industry sectors, or if you know of others who may be interested, please get in touch with us by calling the HIE Argyll and the Islands enquiry line on 01546 602281.

You can also email us at argyll@hie.co.uk

Promising that some companies are looking into the area. Hopefully this will materialise into some jobs for the town.
