Nottingham City Council’s Construction Team works alongside developers, contractors, and employers to ensure projects make a positive contribution to the local area:

• Local Economic Growth – Recruitment pipelines into local communities, helping you access motivated residents while boosting the local economy.

• Sustainable & Community Development – Delivering corporate social responsibility (CSR) and social value (SV) commitments by investing in training, schools, and community initiatives.

• Training & Skilling – Access to a skilled workforce through apprenticeships, graduate opportunities, and targeted upskilling programmes.

• Measurable Impact – Clear, trackable outcomes on jobs created, skills delivered, and community benefits achieved.

Working in partnership, employers can access a wide range of initiatives that have been specifically designed to meet the requirements of S106 whilst strengthening workforce pipelines, such as:

Employment & Skills Initiatives

• Vacancy Management & Support – We work with you to advertise roles locally, manage applications, and connect you with job-ready candidates.

• Apprenticeships & Graduates – Structured routes for apprentices, graduates, and new entrants into construction and related industries.

• Upskilling & Training – Tailored training packages covering industry standards, safety protocols, and sustainable construction practices.

• Work Experience & Volunteering – Opportunities for school leavers, students, and residents to gain first-hand experience on live projects.

Community Engagement

• Schools & Education – Employer visits, workshops, and site tours to inspire the next generation about careers in construction.

• Community Projects – Support for local initiatives, from volunteering to legacy projects such as community gardens, school improvements, and public realm enhancements.
