Employment scheme in Tees Valley generates 700 jobs across the region

An employment scheme backed by a £6m grant from the Regional Growth Fund has managed to create 700 new jobs across the Tees Valley, a recent news report in the local media has been able to reveal.

The Tees Valley Unlimited (TVU), a local enterprise partnership for Tees Valley, offered businesses a subsidy of up to 50 per cent of a worker’s first year wage through the Tees Valley Jobs and Skills Investment Scheme.

Linda Edworthy, TVU director of strategy and investment, said: "The Tees Valley Jobs and Skills Investment Scheme has had a significant impact on employment creation and business growth in the area.

"The achievement of creating 700 jobs is a prime example of how TVU’s approach to helping strengthen the local economy is enabling enterprising companies, such as J&B Recycling, take their ambitions to the next level."
