West Midlands Employer Breakfast Networking Event

Join Pathway Group and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for an engaging employer breakfast networking event focused on workforce development, employment support, and regional opportunities across the West Midlands.

This event will bring together employers, partners, and stakeholders to explore the latest DWP initiatives and employer support programmes designed to help businesses recruit, develop skills, and build inclusive workplaces.

Hear directly from DWP representatives about:
• Get Britain Working
• Employer recruitment support
• Sector-based work academy programmes (SWAPs)
• Youth Guarantee initiatives
• Apprenticeships and skills opportunities
• Workforce support available across the West Midlands

The morning will provide an excellent opportunity to network with fellow employers and gain insight into how organisations can engage with regional employment and skills initiatives.

Breakfast refreshments will be available from 7:45am, with presentations commencing at 8:00am.

The breakfast session will conclude ahead of the Adult Skills Conference taking place later that morning. Guests are welcome to attend the conference separately should they wish to continue networking and learning throughout the day.
