Pertemps article - sample quote:
Pertemps People Development Group helps to reignite the spark in jobseekers who have lost hope. It aims to turn lives around, and its workforce is testament to its success — about 40% of the 576 staff members are former clients.
WorkDirections article - sample quote:
Employees believe it makes a positive difference to the world we live in (87%, the second highest result), say the work is good for their own personal growth (78%) and feel they can make a difference through their work (77%).
There's also an organisation called Prospects for People with Learning Disabilities, but this seems to be a separate organisation to Prospects the careers advice organisation.
For the record, we bumped into this while responding to a complaint in the forums. The story wasn't placed or even alerted to us by WorkDirections. The story was updated on 30/3 after Pertemps was pointed out on the list (oops!)
