In light of the impact the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has had on Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire (D2N2) small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), the University of Derby has adapted its SME support package.

Since December 2018 our University of Derby Graduate Recruitment Programme has supported over 300 local organisations with free recruitment, training support and funding through the University of Derby's GRADS for D2N2 project.

Our new REGROUP RECRUIT REBUILD package, in collaboration with the University of Derby Dedicated Business team, expands upon the success of our project with greater opportunities than every before!

"They gave me excellent support in helping us to understand what the possibilities were for internships. Then guiding us through every aspect of writing the advert and shortlisting our candidates. They even found us a suitable interview space as we do not have an office. They are always on hand to answer questions and excellent at communicating at each stage of the process."  - Sally Murray (Director of Just-Ice: Ethical Ice Cream Company).
