Welcome to Project 365, a new ambitious initiative in which partners and local businesses will work together to help the people of Nottinghamshire into work.
Every day in 2012 we will aim to deliver an activity that will make a real difference to our local community. We will achieve this through partnership working, linking businesses to opportunities that support jobseekers moving closer to work. These will be over and above those that are already in place.
The project will aim to deliver 365 additional activities, structured under the following themes:
A target of 50 new pledges of support for Clubs across a range of areas from local businesses.
