The Coventry Community Cohesion Awards were officially launched at the Annual Coventry Partnership Conference at the Ricoh Arena Community Space on Thursady 3rd December.
The awards are designed to celebrate the work of local people in helping to make Coventry a cohesive City. We are looking to recognise practical activities which demonstrate how you've achieved cohesion across different communities, groups, faiths, age groups, and people from different backgrounds, ethnicity and disabilities. It is also an opportunity to share any difficulties you have experienced and how these have been overcome.

Closing date for nominations is April 30th 2010
The increase in unemployment in Coventry is now more than 1.5% above the national average. This is made up not only from the traditional hotspots in lower super output areas, but also across the more affluent wards which are seeing a larger percentage increase in unemployment and redundancies. The largest increase in unemployment is now in the non-traditional areas of professional and managerial standards occupational classifications.
The Employment Placement scheme (EPS) is a local initiative, responding to local evidence of the hotspots of increased unemployment in the area of NEETS, graduates and local professionals/managers. It was developed strategically from within the Coventry Partnership, taking into account and complementing other national and local schemes such as the Future Jobs Fund (FJF) and Enterprising Coventry to meet a local need for targeted economic activity.
The Employment Placement Scheme was launched in October 2009, alongside the FJF. The Employment Placement Scheme provides funding for work placements in the public , private and voluntary sectors for:
• Unemployed local graduates (graduated within the last 12 months)
• Unemployed managers and professionals
• Unemployed young people (16-18) that are not in education, employment or training (NEET's) If you need any further information see attached flier
