Our Skills West team is running a series of Business Skills Workshops throughout Autumn 2018. These workshops will cover topics from recruitment and flexible working to apprenticeships for SMEs and developing your workforce.
These workshops will be taking place across the West of England and are open to businesses from any sector or industry.
Diversifying your recruitment; unlocking the workforce
Hosted by Skills West and led by Kristal McNamara, Director at Flexology, this workshop aims to arm attendees with the knowledge and skills they need to improve their recruitment and fill skills gaps within their business. The workshop will cover flexible working, diversity within recruitment and more.
The Diversifying your recruitment; unlocking the workforce workshops have now finished. You can still book on to our other two workshops below!
