The council’s Cabinet Member for City Development, Jobs and Skills, Councillor Chris Burden, said: “Securing a brighter future for local people by getting them into good jobs and training is one of the key priorities for the city. 

“Employability Week brings this into sharp focus – and the community drop-in sessions are invaluable in reaching those who need support.

“Over the last 12 months hundreds more people have been helped into jobs with city employers and much of this is thanks to the efforts of the Wolves at Work programme.”
