    MP congratulates local business
     
    A business in Worthing has been recognised as a leading local business by being shortlisted in a Newspaper Society competition. The Local Business Accelerators competition is looking for the most promising small businesses in the country, with a national winner being announced in October.
     
    MP for Worthing, Tim Loughton said, “I am delighted to see the success of Green Fish Recruitment. Small businesses play a vital role in our economy and in local communities. I very much hope that the Local Business Accelerators competition and the accomplishments of Green Fish Recruitment will help to inspire other people to start their own business in Worthing or to grow one they are running already.
     
    “The competition is supported by Business in You, and I would like to remind other local businesses that the Business in You website (www.businessinyou.bis.gov.uk) contains a range of practical information and directions to other sources of help. Particularly when you are starting out in business, seeking out and acting on advice is key to success.”
     
    Business Minister Michael Fallon said, “The Government is committed to helping small businesses get on and succeed so they can continue to contribute to the growth we need. We want businesses to take advantage of the wealth of information and support that is available to them through Business in You so they can take the necessary steps towards securing themselves a bright future. Through the LBA competition these successful local businesses will set a great example to their peers.”
     
    The competition’s winner will receive a year's mentoring from Dragon’s Den star Deborah Meaden and other prizes including free advertising in their local newspaper, £10,000 from the Business Growth Fund, a year's membership of the CBI, business advice from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales, broadband and a website from BT, and an iPad and a year’s access to software from Freeagent.

    Day Release Degree from the University of Chichester

    The University of Chichester is partnering with forward-looking businesses committed to developing their staff to provide an opportunity for students to combine employment with degree-level study. Employers provide full or part-time salaried positions, a work-based mentor, and contribute towards tuition fees. You can offer the same opportunity to promising and ambitious existing employees also. 
    The University provides support with recruitment and selection of students with employers making the final decision on who to take on. Costs are typically shared between the company and the student who qualify for a student loan. 
     
    What does this mean to your business?

    * Business impact - the business will benefit from work-related projects agreed with you which enables the student to make a real difference the business while they are learning 
    * Innovation - through study, students will bring the latest new approaches, ideas and research to your business giving you an edge over your competitors 
    * Talent Management - Ultimately you will have a qualified, experienced, committed employee that will be a dynamic asset to the business's future.

    If you are interested please talk to Andrew Adams (07796 655247 - a.adams@chi.ac.uk at the University of Chichester's School of Enterprise Management and Leadership

    Are you an ex-student of WHS Worthing High School?

    Current Year 11 Student Leaders are looking to develop a program whereby ex-students are invited back to the school to support careers provision and help students with their choices for further education. Ex Students would be given the opportunity to talk to current students about their Higher/ Further/ or Vocational experiences. This would provide our current students with more first-hand information when looking to make important decisions during their education, for example when making their year 9 option choices or choosing their pathways for higher education.
    If you would like some more information about the project then please contact Karen Hayler at khayler@worthinghigh.net  Tel: 01903 229275 by the end of February 2013.
