The former Milford Haven Library has been given a new lease of life.
The building, which once played a key role in the cultural life of the town, is now offering residents a service of a different kind.
The Hamilton Terrace building is the new base of Futureworks – the specialist providers of skills and employment services.
Part of Pembrokeshire County Council’s learning and development services, Futureworks is launching a range of exciting new opportunities for unemployed and economically inactive people; supporting them in their journey back into work.
The new services will create jobs in the County by offering employers help in recruiting the right people, provide incentives to create new job opportunities and support new employees once they are in work.
Councillor Rob Lewis, Cabinet Member for Cultural Services said he was delighted the Council was able to provide a new lease of life for the much loved building.
“I hope it will benefit the people of Milford Haven in the same way as the former library once did,” he said.
Among the services Futureworks will be delivering will be the ‘Backing Young Britain’ campaign, the Government’s flagship Future Jobs Fund Programme; the Flexible New Deal, which offers a comprehensive service to help people unemployed for 12 months or more and the EU funded Workways project, which provides additional support to over 1,500 people to help them back into work.
