September 11 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm
The South Tyneside Pledge was launched to retain economic value within the borough, and we know this work is having a significant impact with Pledge organisations advertising jobs locally, utilising South Tyneside Works and taking part in careers fairs in the borough. Some great collaborations have been forged between Pledge organisations on student placements, work experience and careers programmes.
Our Autumn Networking event will focus on local recruitment. Join us for lunch, networking and to hear from other organisations about some of the fantastic work going on across the borough. A range of local speakers will look at how businesses can widen their recruitment and selection pools and encourage more local candidates, particularly those with diverse or additional needs, and outline some of the support available to do so.
Share your business story
On booking organisations can opt in to speaking at the event, this can be simply to introduce your organisation but we would warmly welcome any updates around local recruitment. Have you taken on an apprentice, hosted a work experience placement or actively promoted healthy lifestyles within the workplace? If so we would love to hear more!
All organisations attending will be asked to provide an introduction to their organisation; identify top products or services they buy and sell to encourage local business. This will be printed out to help encourage local collaboration.
Places are reserved for Pledge organisations only, and will be offered on a first come, first served basis.
