Jobseekers from the long-term unemployed to recent graduates are being given a taste of what the seafood industry has to offer.
And Grimsby’s primary industry has already thrown up a positive result for one young woman, securing a job with one of the town’s oldest operators. Leia Wright, 23, is now employed by Alfred Enderby, having completed the first session laid on by Seafood Grimsby & Humber.
A targeted programme with the Department for Work and Pensions, candidates were put forward by it and CatZero, the sailing-themed programme that delivers positive personal changes for young people in the Humber. She joined via the latter, having been introduced as part of her Universal Credit assessment.
