This issue celebrates the FIRST ANNIVERSARY of the LCUK
eNewsletter. The Editorial Team have been contemplating
ways of increasing the scope of eNews and have some ideas.
How about a Career Advise and Job Placement service
- for Lohana Youths by Lohana business. Think what a help
a network of Lohana businesses/ professionals would offer
to our young graduates looking for careers advise or accountancy
articles, pharmacy pre-reg placements, dentistry training
opportunities, solicitor training, etc? We are also considering
an Lohana Business eDirectory connected to eNews to
promote all our business and professional people and their
services. If you have any comments on these ideas or can help
with them then please contact us on CareersAdvise@LCUK.org.uk
- thanks. |
