The facilities offered will include"Job Teams" to advise on alternative employment and /or opportunities for training and retraining, the canvassing of other employers for additional vacancies, and guidance on employment opportunities available, and allowances payable, for those who wish tot ake up employment in other areas. Special arrangements are made for those who require the facilities of the Professional and Executive Recruitment or the Occupational Guidance Service.
