Inspiring Tomorrow’s Workforce

We’re excited to launch Inspiring Tomorrow’s Workforce through our new interactive digital brochure:

Your Pathway from Classroom to Career – a powerful showcase of South Staffordshire businesses, careers, and employee stories.

Led by South Staffordshire Council, in partnership with our Business Ambassadors, the Stoke and Staffordshire Careers Hub, and funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), this initiative gives young people a closer look at the world of work right on their doorstep.
