NTU's third impact report focuses on its collaboration with schools, community groups and local charities

These bi-annual reports focus on the benefits universities bring to the communities they aspire to serve. Those communities can be local and global and include both students and employers.

This third instalment focuses on our collaboration with schools, community groups and local charities in enabling people in the area to acquire and use the skills they need to prosper and thrive.

Our first Impact Report described our collaboration with Vision West Nottinghamshire College in Mansfield and Ashfield which is enhancing the skills of local people.

The second report explores our business engagement and support in Mansfield and Ashfield.
