The Proceedings of the Employment Summit which was held in Palmerston North, New Zealand, on 30 March are now available on the Web. http://www.geocities.com/~ubinz/IR/1999summit/ProcCover.html#e As Steve Maharey, the local MP, said on the day, the Summit was the place to be for people interested in employment issues at the local level because the forum included the cream of workers in this field in the country. Several groups around the country have been very interested in the Summit, particularly with a view to running one of their own, said Ian Ritchie, one of the organising group. The Proceedings will give a lot of ideas and practical suggestions as to what communities around New Zealand can do. As well as the papers and discussions from the day, a number of other papers have been included which add to the usefulness of the collection and together with the Background Papers published earlier, provide a valuable resource for local, employment rich, economic development.
