We also support contractors in meeting their employability focused community benefits targets across the city.
JUfB directly links with the city’s employability network, Joined Up for Jobs (JUfJ) to create, maximise and simplify access to high-quality employment and training opportunities for Edinburgh citizens.
JUfB also develops and runs a number of employers led support initiatives, including skill centres around large scale recruitment opportunities, notably with retail focused locations Fort Kinnaird and FUSE at St James Quarter.

The Waterfront Development is a vibrant new city quarter with over 3,000 new homes for sale and rent, new school, health centre, commercial, culture and recreational opportunity alongside the creation of a new coastal city park, enhanced connectivity with the city centre and wider region.
The skills hub will be based within the multi-use centre at Macmillan Square in Muirhouse, North West Edinburgh, where the community can access support to overcome barriers to securing employment/upskilling, help search for vacancies advice and access to training and qualifications
The MacMillan Skills Hub Manager will have responsibility for developing and maintaining the Skill Centre offer based on our other successful skill centre models at Fort Kinnaird and FUSE St James Quarter but shaped towards the local need and opportunities. We want to respond to the projected new job growth and link citizens into job vacancies.
