A project that aims to help job hunters uncover lesser known opportunities in the region is calling out for help from North East firms.
Northumbrian Water and geographic information system specialist ESRI are spearheading efforts to map North East employers of all sizes in a single database that is searchable by postcode. The project aims to raise awareness of businesses of all sizes - particularly those that operate under the radar in the region because their customer base is elsewhere.
It is the brainchild of Northumbrian Water's head of people, strategy and experience, Elouise Leonard-Cross, who is calling on North East professionals to lend their expertise to the development of 'Mapportunity' ahead of next month's Innovation Festival at Newcastle Racecourse where it is hoped a prototype product can be built.
