Ian Goldring, the Lead Expert, is carrying on the Study Visits

Our Lead Expert, Ian Goldring is carrying on the Study Visits who will be helpful to draw up the Baseline Study.
Starting from Cesena on the occasion of the Kick- Off Meeting, the Study Visits took him to Thurrock, Enfield, Avilés and Gondomar. In each place he met elected Council members, as well as a range of local stakeholders.
Study visits are intended to enable our Lead Expert to meet and deal with the major representatives of the local scene, including trade unions, employers association, local business leaders, university, business education and vocational training institutions.

In Avilés things went particularly well: our L.E met the town’s Mayor, who pledges support to Jobtown Project, and discussed the project togheter with trade unions, Employers Associations and local young people.
He also had a meeting with the representatives of all the political parties of the locality, including the opposition, and they all pledge public support to the project as the totality of local elected officials.

"La voz de Avilés", a local newspaper, published an article about the project and Goldring's visit.
