Workers collection point at your service

GEORGE NEWS - During his visit to the Workers Collection Point (WCP) on Tuesday, Mayor Leon van Wyk pleaded with employers in George and with people looking for employment to fully utilise this facility that was established for private individuals and businesses.

The WCP serves as a central point where those who wish to employ temporary workers and those who are looking for employment can meet up.

The municipality wants to emphasise that the Workers Collection Point, which is situated on Industrial Street, George Industria, is the only authorised place for job seekers to be picked up.

The WCP is staffed by officials of the George Municipality's Economic Development Department. What makes the WCP reliable and safe for both job seekers and employers is that it is run professionally. Job seekers are registered and their personal information is captured (names, identification documents and address), as are details of the employers, to ensure adequate management of the whole process.

It is staffed by the following two officials from the Planning and Development Department: Kevin Abrahams, email: kabrahams@george.gov.za; and Ongeziwe Mthongwana, e-mail: omthongwana@george.gov.za.
