Coventry is considered the industrialized centre of the UK’s economy and offers a wealth of employment opportunities.
In recent years, the local economy has flourished in the areas of research and development, benefiting from its excellent links to world-class research-intensive universities such as Warwick.
The stalwarts of the post-war manufacturing boom remain with the headquarters of Jaguar, plus the site where London’s iconic black cabs are produced.
More recently in 2017, Coventry was awarded the title of UK City of Culture 2021, which will unlock a host of further opportunities for the city’s already burgeoning creative and leisure industries, as well as improving employment prospects for young people.
