The contents of this page are prepared by the New Deal executive team. Nisar Ahmed I am the newly appointed Enterprise and Employment Theme Manager. I was born in Pakistan and came to live in Sheffield at the age of eight. I studied at the local schools, Firshill and Firth Park and after completing my sixth form education, I attended at Hallam university to read Engineering with Business Studies. I have developed a strong bond with Burngreave and it’s people. The bond is so great that after finishing my formal education I found it very difficult to move house even for the purpose of employment. My working career comprises of a Police Officer with the South Yorkshire Police, lecturer with Parkwood College (Sheffield College) to develop and teach on The Asian Access Course which later on was relaunched to cover all BME communities. This was followed by over six years of work experience with regeneration programmes through SPAT-C, BCF, Black CARD and Black Communities Development programme (SY). I have chosen to work for Burngreave New Deal having been involved in regeneration initiatives for many years and I believe I have a lot to offer to Burngreave and its people. The area has given me so much in terms of childhood memories, living with my family and friends, educated and worked in the area and it is time I gave something BACK! It is the job of Enterprise and Employment theme group to lower the unemployment and to raise the household income. Employer involvement is crucial in bringing about job opportunities into the area and we will actively seek to audit the employers’ needs and to ensure that training and job vacancies are directly linked to ensure the right skills mix. I believe the people of Burngreave have a lot of potential and are aspiring to get good jobs. We at the BNDfC want to encourage appropriately developed training programmes, encourage employers to provide skills training, provide job seeking and career development, support to increase the prospect of finding good quality jobs.
