Opportunity Sheffield is the employment and skills service within Sheffield City Council.

We help local people get jobs, find apprenticeships and access training, supporting them to overcome barriers to employment and career progression.

Working with employers, we aim to build strong and diverse workforces which offer opportunities to local people and strengthen the local economy.

• We connect jobseekers with local employers who are looking for staff through our:

• keyworker programmes
• jobs fairs
• industry-specific training courses 
• promotion of inclusive hiring 

Our work with local and regional partners identifies gaps in employment and skills services and aims to fill them.
