Dig This - a podcast for Guernsey

It might be light touch, driving in with someone as they head to a job for the first time.

Maybe it is more hands on, sitting next to them through the working day, breaking down tasks to be more manageable. But that support is priceless.

That allied to the work beforehand, trying to ensure people are matched to the right roles and employers, can mean permanent jobs for those that would otherwise struggle.

In a nutshell, that is the Guernsey Employment Trust.

Find out more as we speak to GET's Chief Executive Nikki Ioannou-Droushiotis and learn from BWCI's Alison Rimington and Guernsey Post's Tracey Le Cheminant about their experiences.

This episode is part of a series where The Quarry has partnered with the Guernsey Chamber of Commerce People and Skills Working Group to deliver podcasts about the current workforce shortage and the future skills gap.
