More Wasted Talent from Perthshire
Another day more post - more young students from Perth College looking for opportunities that don't exist in Perthshire. Where do all the kids go? Well Perthshire and Kinross Council wake up before you kill the area for us all. Isn't it time to promote quality and development for all our futures. At the moment the students are leaving Perthshire to look else where for work. Why hasn't Perth any opportunities for the students here? You can't be a city (more Perthshire and Kinross Council bullshit - idiots) without an industry. Wasted Talent indeed but at least the real cites of Glasgow, Newcastle and Manchester may benefit.
“We need to keep our young people here. They leave to go to university in other parts of the country and don’t always come back. That, we hope, will change.”
Bernadette Malone, Chief Executive of Perth & Kinross Council - Perthshire Welcome to our World Lifestyle Magazine 2005
Ms Malone is indeed a hypocrite when her own council has a policy of always awarding major contracts to companies outside the area. You will only keep your young people here if there is something for them to come back too. Better they live and work in successful cities where their skills will be appreciated and where they will be able to find suitable employment to utilise those skills.
What a pity local skills were ignored for the contract for the publications below. The publications are now available in all their awful glory to see - what an absolute embarrassment for the Perthshire area. I don't believe any local company could have produced anything that bad!!
No wonder you could only get rid of 3500 out of 10000. If you have any sense of pride you should burn the rest before anyone influential or important sees them.
