North West

Welcome to the North West Local Employment Partnerships Awards 2009

We are very proud to have hosted these awards on 3 March 2009 at Manchester United FC, Old Trafford, Manchester.

The ceremony showcased how employers across the North West have worked with us through Local Employment Partnerships to help thousands of local people back into work. There has been innovation and real commitment to developing people's skills and reaching out to parts of the community that have previously been overlooked.
