This month we report the launch of two exciting new schemes to support people towards gaining employment - Destination Work and Future Destination Hub, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Skills and employability feature heavily in this edition as we hear how guidance from Warwickshire Skills Hub has helped a global engineering company to grow and recruit in the county and how almost 100 apprenticeships have been supported the County Council's Apprenticeship Levy.

We also report the building of a new Careers, Employment and Skills Strategy for the county. Can you help shape it?

We look ahead to Small Business Saturday, hear how the Warwickshire Manufacturing Growth Programme has helped a Leamington firm move to the next level and feature Minerva Mill, Alcester, whose rich history as a pillar of the local economy now has a new dimension.
