You’ll manage the day-to-day operations of the Airport Academy, working closely with Nottingham College and a range of partners including Jobcentre Plus, local authorities, and airport-based employers, and be responsible for promoting vacancies and training opportunities across the region, organising pre-employment programmes and ensuring candidates are supported into sustainable employment.
