Broxtowe Skills Quest
 The Broxtowe Skills Quest was undertaken to examine employment and skills provision in Broxtowe in order to inform future skills activity in the Borough. It provides a snapshot of current and planned activity and makes recommendations on future projects.
The report identifies previous skills activity and future resident and business needs for skills, along with highlighting future opportunities in the area.
There have been many changes in Broxtowe with employment and skills provision due to national and international funding changes, which has affected providers who support people into work and provide services to residents to help them become economically active and gain new skills.
