It’s an encouraging fact that not everyone may be aware of but almost 50 per cent of the jobs created by the Burngreave New Deal for Communities programme have been filled by local residents.
This is an important element of the BNDfC programme which aims to give people from Burngreave access to appropriate training and employment opportunities. We want to ensure that local people are getting the right skills and experience so they can access jobs in Burngreave, at BNDfC or elsewhere in the city.
So far, the BNDfC programme has resulted in 270 jobs – the BNDfC programme team consists of 25 members of staff and 245 people are employed on projects funded by BNDfC. In all, more than 12 ethnic backgrounds are represented.
