Especially jobs that are sustainable - rather than temporary posts funded by the taxpayer.<BR/><BR/>It is one thing to use public money to create employment. It is another thing to build an organisation that creates value and uses THAT value that IT creates to pay employees. While the former process my provide a much need short term palliative and an opportunity to improve some otherwise disastrous unemployment figures (haven't we been here before?) it is only the latter process that really 'creates' jobs. I am clear that the third sector has a massive role to play in this process too - because of its unique position in some of the most badly hit communities. I am just not sure that much of the third sector recognises it!<BR/><BR/>I think a well thought through paper on the role of the third sector in supporting creative local enterprise strategies is long overdue - or perhaps I have just missed it?<BR/><BR/>Mike Chitty<BR/>http://localenterprise.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
