FUNDING
£42,000 funded by the Open Data Institute for a design agency to brand the project and analyse data

The unemployment rate in Doncaster is 5.8 per cent, compared with an England average of 4.3 per cent. A quarter of young people in the Yorkshire town are not in education, employment or training, compared with an England average of 11.2 per cent.
To turn around these figures, Doncaster Council has developed a new approach to careers information, advice and guidance based on better use of "open data" - data that can be used, reused and redistributed by anyone.
