Paul Goggins Congratulates Award Winning Local IT Business - 10/07/2012 |
 Wythenshawe and Sale East MP, Paul Goggins has congratulated a Manchester based employer – Maginus Software - in achieving an award for their outstanding contribution in helping to tackle youth unemployment.
IT employer Maginus Software have been given an Honourable Mention for Microsoft’s Apprentice Employer of the Year award. This prestigious national award recognises the outstanding efforts and achievements of Microsoft partners in developing young people’s workplace skills and experience.
Maginus Software is among just three employers to receive this accolade, out of the 30,000 Microsoft partners across the UK contributing to its pioneering Britain Works programme. The Britain Works campaign is Microsoft’s three year commitment to get 500,000 people into a job by the end of 2012.
Mr Goggins met Stephen Uden from Microsoft and Peter Slinger from Maginus at the House of Commons to mark the achievement. They were joined by Athina-Kate England, one of the Maginus apprentices. Ms England was also shortlisted for the Microsoft Apprentice of the Year award.
Paul Goggins said: “At a time when so many are finding it difficult to get work, we should applaud those companies that are investing in our young people’s futures and I am delighted to join Microsoft in paying tribute to Maginus Software’s work in helping to tackle youth unemployment.”
