Things we could not confirm

  • The page includes an Employer Incentive offering £10,000 per eligible employee for recruitment and £5,000 for retention, but it is run by the council's employment and skills team and its eligibility rules are not fully set out here.
  • Events text says 'during 2024', so dates are out of date.
  • Deadlines and opening dates not stated for the overall programme.
