Metropolitan achieves this directly by offering a “job brokerage” service to residents and also through Suppliers as part of their service offer to Metropolitan delivering job opportunities for local residents. The Metroployment job brokerage service provides a wide range of recruitment and training support. The service responds to employers’ needs by offering a pool of local, skilled Metropolitan residents.
