Reskill and Recover

European Union Social Fund in Partnership with the Department for work and pensions

Reskill and Recover offered fully-funded courses until December 2023. This was possible thanks to funding from the European Social Fund and our delivery partners, which include the University of Derby, Nottingham Trent University, Derby College, Nottingham College, East Midlands Chamber of Commerce, Enable, and the Workers’ Educational Association.

The programme aimed to help participants learn about growth and productivity especially following the challenges of the past few years.
