Hull: The 'Can Do, Will Do' City
A message to Hull's business community from the Leader and Chief Executive of Hull City Council.
Over the years many local businesses have had a great deal of positive involvement in the city. Our ambition is to now increase this involvement in shaping the future of Hull.
Our Business Week events will give you the opportunity to hear lots more about how you CAN and WILL be able to play a part. Your involvement will help us to break Hull’s cycle of deprivation.
We have a fantastic opportunity. Hull is at the forefront of many exciting projects, such as our Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme, the project CAN and WILL transform education in all of our secondary and special schools by 2015.
Our mission to raise achievement levels in Hull schools continues and by the end of business week it is our ambition to ensure that:
- Every school in Hull is supported by, at least, one local business.
- Every school further develops its international twinning and learning connections with the involvement of business expertise.
- We create 100 new opportunities for apprenticeships.
With our collective support, help and encouragement, the positive aspirations of parents, support of families and the focussed efforts of the business community we CAN and WILL make Hull a family friendly City - where no child is left behind.
With your help and encouragement young people CAN and WILL help to ensure that the city has a prosperous future.
