T5.4. Implementing a Plan of Action (M13-M24) (M13, M24)
Leader: MCB Contributors: All partners
Community support is essential for the successful start-up of a career information centre. The enthusiasm and strong commitment of coordinators, staff and volunteers may be very persuasive in achieving this, but convincing arguments detailing the necessity for the service will also help. It is an important marketing feature to explain precisely how the service will benefit the community. If employers in the selected Blue Growth sectors see that the facility contributes to the development of a stronger and more focused workforce, they will support the centre’s vision and help champion its survival.
