With its dedicated regional integrated skills and employment accelerator programme (IRES), ESES is well placed to ensure that skills improvement, employment and career enhancement opportunities are delivered as broadly as possible across the region and are particularly linked to areas of disadvantage.
· Projects will use community benefit clauses to stipulate employment opportunities for local residents, as part of large contracts.
· Where feasible and relevant, projects will work with the IRES team to maximise the impact of any other potential employment opportunities that form part of their project.
