The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question about the number of Outreach projects providing access to vacancy and advisory services operating in Scotland. We have interpreted Outreach projects to mean those where information outside and complementary to Employment Service (ES) programmes and services is provided by advisors in locations other than ES offices.The ES has supported, either in full or as part of a joint funded initiative, nine Outreach type projects throughout Scotland in 1995–95. These are based in the following locations;Strathclyde Region:-
Castlemilk Economic Development Agency Office, Castlemilk, Glasgow;Ferguslie Park partnership premises, Ferguslie Park, Paisley;The Ethnic Minority Enterprise Centre in Glasgow, covering projects in Shawlands, Govan and Maryhill areas;Drumchapel, Glasgow;The Ashgill, Netherburn and Stonehouse areas of Lanarkshire.Lothian Region:-
The Pilton Partnership premises in Edinburgh.Grampian Region:-
The Forres Area Action Project premises in Forres, Morayshire.I hope this information is helpful.
