Learn Devon, the County Council\u2019s adult education service, will also attend.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_acf-block-6ace08431676d\" class=\"councillor-quote align-right dcc grid-x\">\r\n\t<blockquote class=\"councillor-quote-blockquote medium-auto small-12 cell\">\r\n                    <div class=\"councillor-quote-title\"><p>Councillor Simon Clist, Cabinet Member for Assets and Resources, said: <\/p><\/div>\r\n        \t\t<div class=\"councillor-quote-text\"><p>\u201cIt\u2019s great news that the Teignmouth event was valued by attendees and I\u2019m pleased that follow up events are going to be held in Dawlish and Newton Abbot. These events are all free and it\u2019s a huge advantage to get so many people together under one roof. They provide an ideal setting to network, as well as finding out about training and employment opportunities. If you\u2019re a local business, it\u2019s well worth going along.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t<\/blockquote>\r\n        <div class=\"councillor-quote-aside medium-auto small-12 cell\">\r\n\t<figure
