Link Up Local, Havant Borough Council’s community jobs board, is a free platform for businesses to help promote their live vacancies.
In partnership with Hireful, Link Up Local works with employers to promote live vacancies to the young people accessing the council’s Youth Hub service.
The Youth Hub worked with local business Comserv to showcase their Labourer vacancy role through Link Up Local. Bayley, a young person who accessed the Youth Hub, gained employment after applying for the Labourer role.
You can find out more about Bayley’s experience accessing the Youth Hub and working for Comserv by going to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGFhzHbxzaU
