Government Going All out to Help Women into work
SNP Supports Womens Job Summit – Good News Ladies!
The Scottish SNP has announced that they are committed to helping women into employment. This is great news! In a press release today stated
“Helping more women into work is a top priority if Scotland’s economy is to grow faster, Alex Salmond told an audience of trade union members today”.
The first Womens Employment Summit later in the year. See link
http://www.scotland.gov.uk/News/Releases/2012/04/womens-job-summit24042012
SNP WELCOMES WOMEN’S JOBS SUMMIT
SNP MSP Christina McKelvie has welcomed an announcement from the First Minister that Scotland’s first Women’s Employment Summit will be held this year.
Alex Salmond told the annual STUC Congress in Inverness that helping more women into work is a top priority if Scotland’s economy is to grow faster.
Ms McKelvie, SNP MSP for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, and a former UNISON shop steward, said:
“Tackling unemployment among women is critical, not just for our economy but for households across the country.
“Although we have higher female employment, the statistics for women need to be improved and we must do all we can to address this.
“That is why this announcement from the First Minister is so welcome – the summit will focus efforts on creating more jobs and helping females into employment.
“Women have a lot to offer our economy we must do everything we can to ensure we utilise these talents and abilities.
“The SNP Government remains committed to addressing this serious issue, having already begun conversations with STUC on a number of issues – including how to attract more females into manufacturing.
“And two thirds of the thousands of people benefitting from the introduction of the living wage are women.
“Women’s progress in the workplace needs to be nurtured and I believe this summit is a strong step in doing that.”
Here at Strategem Consultancy we too want to encourage women into work through support but more than that we want to encourage women into business. If you are a woman and you are unemployed or in a very low paid job you can change your life by either starting a business or by entering into education. As a woman I am passionate about helping other women through Womenicity © or SHE….. Thats girl power and supporting her to better employment.

The Heart of Community – How I discovered Radio Kilimanjaro
Up until 2 years ago I was working with large business transformation programmes on a UK wide basis. I have worked across sectors including local authority, higher education, retail, transport and mod orgs.
About 18 months ago I returned to Glasgow and decided to work with SME as I wanted to help to boost my local economy by helping small business to improve using big business methodologies. One of the major barriers to achieving this was that a lot of small businesses stay small or fail because they have no funds to invest in improvement.
To remove this barrier I went around the houses researching thoroughly what was out there for small business. At that time it was somewhat bitty and limited and a lot of businesses couldn’t access funding because of the sector or because of the stage their business was at in terms of business life cycle.
From Profit Motive to Community Driven
In the last year I have been working on community initiatives and some of these are progressing down south. I have also begun to develop services for new start business and for businesses wanting to take their business to the next level.
It was during this journey that I decided to take our new business start up package to the SSEC New Start Scotland event in November 2011. It was surprising that Strategem Consultancy Ltd were the only business offering a full package given that it was a new start event.
It was at this event that I first met Fraser Kennedy from Radio Kilimanjaro. RKJ is an international community radio station with a wide genre but with a specific mission to reach out to people of African decent who are based within Scotland. It’s a great site and the shows and music are really great. Frasers slot is about community and his music is really fab!
When Fraser asked me to speak on the show I decided that it was a good thing as it fit in with my community focus. That was 4 months ago and I have done quite a few interviews and business improvement slots since we first met.
Fraser presents a weekly show called community matters which focuses on issues & subjects which affect both the local & global community as a whole- the aim being to enrich, empower and influence people’s lives for their postive outlook.
Fraser has come from a radio broadcasting background inc. time spent at such stations as BBC, Feile FM & Revival FM covering talk based community shows.
Last week I met Kofe Amu and what an inspiration he is. This man has many impressive strings to his bow and he is heavily involved and passionate about the http://friendsofwumenufarm.org.uk/ But I thing that this is for another blog story and a new chapter in my journey into the community.
To find out more about Radio Kilimanjaro just click on their logo here on the right and you can find more information on the remainder of this page.
