People Before Perceptions: Unlocking the Talent You Never Knew You Needed

Join us for an inspiring and practical evening exploring what it means to recruit more inclusively and what it could mean for your business.
About this Event

The UK's skills shortage is one of the most pressing challenges facing businesses today - yet millions of talented, motivated, and work-ready people remain outside the workforce. At our July members' meeting, we're turning the spotlight on three often-overlooked talent pools that could provide real solutions for employers across the Harrogate District and beyond.

Join us for an inspiring and practical evening exploring what it means to recruit more inclusively - and what it could mean for your business.

Whether you're struggling to recruit, looking to retain great people, or simply want to understand a wider talent market - this is an evening that could change how you think about hiring.

Hear from the British Army (Northern Headquarters, Catterick), Disability Action Yorkshire (Robert Kernaghan, Chair of the Board of Trustees) and North Yorkshire Council’s Supported Employment Team.
