The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the announcement by Dawnfresh Seafoods in the Uddingston and Bellshill constituency that it will be giving young people facing employment challenges a step up on the career ladder through an announcement by Movement to Work, a work-placement charity, that the company will take on all of the young people to whom it offered a work-placement opportunity in the last 12 months; notes that the young people involved in the programme included those who had been homeless, had addiction issues and had additional learning needs, but all of whom have now been taken on as apprentices specialising in engineering, food and drink operations, supply chain management and a degree-apprenticeship in business management; understands that Dawnfresh is a successful business that produces seafood for major retailers and food services in the UK and around the world; believes that partnerships such as that between Dawnfresh and Movement to Work are important in extending employment opportunities out to people, especially young people, in communities across Scotland, and pays tribute to all those organisations and employers across the country who provide opportunities for young people to enter into employment.
