  • Universities team up to help companies and individuals fight recession
    As the recession continues to bite, companies throughout the South Yorkshire region are dealing with the challenge of needing top level workforce and management skills but are struggling to find the right people with those skills in the local labour market. And individuals who have lost their jobs or who are at risk of redundancy also need the right kind of training and development to help them successfully move into the job opportunities on offer.
  • Testing paper for Design Futures!
    Design Futures - Sheffield Hallam's award-winning design consultancy - prides itself on its ability to come up with innovative packaging solutions, something which was put to the test recently with a challenging brief from Swedish paper manufacturer Billerud.

    Students from Sheffield Hallam University have been applying their newly developed skills and expertise in a bid to help one of South Yorkshire's leading law firms maximise their use of office space and improve the working environment for their staff.
  • Shorter route to our expertise
    Combining academic knowledge with business know-how can lead to some fantastic results, something the many businesses which have benefited from the government's Knowledge Transfer Partnerships scheme will testify to.
  • Shifting public policy - could political change mean change for you?
    There's no doubt that we're living in challenging times - the recession brings new headlines every day about businesses in trouble and increasing job losses, and as the next general election looms, we may be about to see a change in government by June 2010.
