Online stuff

This is a Manx version of YouTube. There’s some good stuff here!

The Isle of Man government’s Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has launched a free, online social network to encourage Manx-born workers to return to the island.

The initiative, part of the government’s strategy to encourage Manx graduates and other skilled workers to return to the island once they have completed their studies, has been developed in conjunction with PDMS, www.manxgraduates.im and contains a database for use by both local organizations and candidates.

Apparently the island loses a lot of graduates. The government pays for them to go off island to study and they don’t come back because few companies advertise their graduate training opportunities.
