Speakers: Kirsty Dallas, Learning and Development Advisor, Parity; Rachel Connelly, Business Development Manager, Edinburgh College
The event will be delivered in partnership with the Edinburgh College and it will focus on skills and recruitment channels to highlight the skills shortages and recruitment challenges that businesses are facing.
We have spoken to many organisations which have highlighted skills shortages and recruitment challenges as one of their most pressing current issue for their businesses.
What if there were ways to diversify recruitment channels and to develop people skills?
On the day, you will hear from Kirsty Dallas, Learning and Development Manager at Parity Group PLC on how they have invested in ‘growing their own talent’ and hired based on fit rather than experience. Plus, their academy and ongoing training approach. We will also hear from Rachel Connolly, Business Development Advisor at the Edinburgh College about the vast range of training opportunities for employers and the various funds available to help employers access training, including the flexible working development fund.
