Thank you.
What a day!
Almost 3,500 people attended our Jobs and Skills Conference today, stopping by many of the 50+ stands, attending workshops, taking part in activities, and speaking to potential employers, skills providers, and volunteer organisations.
HUGE thanks to my amazing team for all the work they did to put this event together, the brilliant folk at The Forum and Holiday Inn Express for hosting us, and DWP and Inspira for working in partnership with us.
This wouldn’t have come together without the support of our core sponsors, Carlton Power, MSH Healthcare, CLEP, Stagecoach, Spirit Energy, and Associated British Ports, who enabled us to run buses through the day to 10 local schools.
Thank you to everyone who exhibited, ran a workshop, gave a talk, lent support and volunteered, brought students over, and also to all who attended. You were the ones who made this day what it was.
Thank you! 👏🏻
