Recruiting Talent in D2N2 post-event page 17/2/23
Posted 20.02.2023
The final Recruiting Talent in D2N2 took place at Nottingham College’s City Hub on Friday 17th February. Almost 100 delegates signed up for the event which promotes the benefits of recruiting staff from a wider, more inclusive pool of talent to meet skills gaps and recruitment challenges.
Delegates heard from key note speakers from Nottingham College, Nottingham City Council, Rushcliffe Borough Council and the D2N2 Local Authority Partnership.
Four workshops were delivered, providing an overview of services that employers can tap into to support them in recruiting staff. The workshops provided information on:
- A second chance: how can your business work with ex-offenders
- Untapping the talents of those with long term health conditions or caring responsibilities
- Jobs for the future – learn more about how digital is changing the jobs landscape, what are ‘green’ jobs and have your say on the local future skill needs
- The role of Individual Placement Support to help you employ people with mental health or substance misuse issues
Delegates had the opportunity to network over lunch and visit the marketplace where they could meet specialist organisations that can support businesses to access the wider pool of talent in D2N2.
