Warning of possible job shortages

There may be a lack of job opportunities for school-leavers in Jersey with learning difficulties, a States committee has warned.

The sub-committee in the Chief Minister's Department has been set up to investigate the problem.

Deputy Ian Gorst said the group was looking at the extent of the problem and possible solutions.

Their findings will be considered by the Council of Ministers and individual States departments.

A spokesman for Jersey Mencap confirmed some people still could not find work despite a training centre recently opening.

The purpose-built Oakfield training centre for people with learning disabilities opened after a £500,000 refit.
