He is part of the Higher Skills Higher Growth Project, which is a joint venture of local colleges and Sheffield Hallam University. This initiative will offer businesses a possibility to access funding for a variety of projects and receive a tailored package of products, services and academic expertise from RNN and Sheffield Hallam University. This will help them to diversify and adapt to the ever-changing world.
Each project will be unique to each employer but can include: · Links to funded initiatives to help businesses to innovate and grow; · Matching skilled graduates and students for short and long-term projects and placements; · Workforce upskilling and professional development programmes; · Collaboration with sector-specialist academics to solve organisational problems.
The programme will particularly benefit small or micro-businesses who are often challenged by limited resources, strategic planning capacity and the ability to engage with innovation and manage change.
