Workforce

With Nottingham's move away from the traditional industries, the city has seen a dramatic rise in service-based jobs, with this shift the workforce has had to be flexible and adapt to the new economy. With sectors including the Public Sector and the Financial and Business Services now dominating the economy it is easy to see why Nottingham is the regional centre for business.

 

With two leading universities and highly regarded colleges, the skills of the workforce continue to grow and offer a flexible and skilled workforce now and in the future for business located here.

 

Businesses located in Nottingham are not only able to draw from the local working-age population of over 400,000 people, with cities including Derby, Leicester and even Sheffield in easy reach the city has over 1.1 million people within a travel to work area.
