Independent Recruitment Agencies
There are a number of recruitment agencies in Wrexham, most deal with
the full range of employment and all will recruit either permanent or
temporary staff. If it is necessary to seek senior personnel or key specialists
in a particular field, there are major recruitment agencies in Manchester
and Liverpool, which also serve the Wrexham area.
Graduate Recruitment
The North Wales Institute of Higher Education (NEWI) has its own recruitment
agency, which deals only with graduates. Most are ex-NEWI students but
it also acts for graduates of other institutions, who live in the area.
NEWI is also involved in a number of initiatives which subsidise the
cost of placing graduates with employers to work on particular projects.
Many employers find that these schemes offer a useful way of identifying
key staff.
Training
CELTEC
The North Wales Training and Enterprise Council, CELTEC, is a publicly
funded body which has responsibility for vocational training and human
resource development within the business community. CELTEC also collects
and analyses information on labour availability, skills shortages and
future skills needs. The organisation's Client Managers assist and advise
companies on training issues and can, in some instances, provide funding
for training, although this is usually at managerial level.
