The Local Heroes programme is an initiative celebrating individuals that live and work in the South Yorkshire region who can inspire the region's youngsters to be more employable, by encouraging them to embrace vocational training and careers in sectors that are important to our local economy.

We're looking for Local Heroes including employers who could champion vocational training or a career in specific sectors as well as celebrities and entrepreneurs from the region. If you know someone who you would like to nominate, or think that your story could inspire young people making important choices about their education or careers, get in touch.
