To better interact and support its local BAME community, the institution introduced ‘The Works’: a one-stop shop supporting local people to find local jobs, develop skills and access training. It has two centres which are both situated in areas with a high BAME population to ensure maximum reach and impact. Since its establishment in 2011 ‘The Works’ has helped 2,825 local people secure employment; 1,490 of these have been directly recruited by the University.
