Putting people at the heart of everything we do
We want to make sure residents have:
- the right skills and training so that they are ready for work
- the support they need to get into work
- and opportunities to achieve and progress in their careers.
We're focussing on:
- access to employment and skills for all
- skills for the future by building skills that employers are looking for
- influencing partners, policy and programmes.
Nottinghamshire Opportunities is our virtual one-stop-shop to support residents find work opportunities and help employers develop their talent pool. It's the go-to-place to explore local career opportunities and provides a platform for people to search for jobs, training courses, and apprenticeship opportunities.
It gives access to live jobs, apprenticeships and courses with integrated feeds enabling the council to connect growth sectors to employment opportunities.
You can find out when jobs and careers fairs are taking place. They're a great opportunity to meet with local employers and industry representatives to discuss employment and training opportunities available to you.
Whether you’re looking for a job or considering changing occupations into a role with more career opportunities, you can find out more about growth industries recruiting near you.
If you're looking to start your own business there's help and advice to support you on your journey to becoming your own boss.
