Pathways to Work helps Sheffield employers with recruitment and training

18th September 2025

Opportunity Sheffield’s Pathways to Work team can help you to recruit and retain suitably qualified individuals and help you build a stronger team.

Opportunity Sheffield’s Business Development team can support you to:

  • Access independent recruitment advice
  • find suitable candidates to fill your skills gaps and diversify your team
  • save you time and money to bring in new recruits

Our team can also support you to develop your existing workforce by spotting skills gaps and identifying training opportunities. Whether you are looking to upskill or reskill your team, Opportunity Sheffield can advise you on appropriate courses and qualifications.

Opportunity Sheffield is the Employment and Skills service within Sheffield City Council. It delivers support to unemployed and economically inactive Sheffield residents as part of South Yorkshire’s Pathways to Work.

Pathways to Work is a South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority initiative. It's part-funded by the Department for Work and Pensions’ Economic Inactivity Trailblazer and the NHS England Health and Growth Accelerator.
