DESCRIPTION:Are you a business leader\, HR professional\, educator\, or policymaker passionate about building a stronger\, more inclusive workforce?

We are keen to have social enterprises and SMEs at the event. \n\n\nJoin us for a dynamic morning of insight\, collaboration\, and action. This event brings together employers\, educators\, and community leaders to tackle the region’s most pressing employment and skills challenges—head-on. \n  \n🔍 Why Attend?\nCreating meaningful employment is one of the most significant ways that businesses can support individuals to break out of poverty. A good job offers security\, rights\, a fair income and opportunities for personal development and progression. Yet\, people from lower socio-economic backgrounds are far less likely to progress at work than their wealthier peers. For many low-income individuals\, securing a job does not mean upward social mobility; but instead\, remaining in a low-skill\, low-pay cycle. \n\nDiscover how to hire inclusively\, reskill effectively\, and upskill strategically.\nLearn from Business in the Community (BITC) and the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) about regional strategies and national frameworks.\nExplore local social mobility challenges and how your organisation can be part of the solution.\nConnect with peers\, training providers\, and policymakers to spark new partnerships.\n\n  \n🎤 What to Expect:\n\nKeynotes from national and regional leaders in employment and skills\nPanel discussions on what’s working in the West Midlands\nInteractive workshop on inclusive hiring and reskilling\nRoundtable networking to share ideas and build collaborations\n\nWhether you’re a small business or a large employer\, this event will equip you with the tools\, insights\, and connections to make a real impact. \nDownload the full event agenda. \n  \n👥 Who Should Attend?\n\nEmployers and HR professionals\nLocal authorities and policymakers\nColleges\, training providers\, and educators\nCommunity organisations and employment support services\n\n\n\nRefreshments\nLight refreshments will be served. \n\n\nBooking\, contact details and further information\n\nContact Andreea.Tudor@bitc.org.uk\, Regional Lead at BITC for any further questions.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community
