The Waiting Workforce: Fair Chance Hiring in the East Midlands
Location: EastWest Tollhouse Hill Nottingham NG1 5FW
As the East Midlands continues to establish itself as a national hub for innovation and industrial resilience, our greatest challenge remains the widening skills gap that threatens our regional growth.
To address this, we must look beyond traditional recruitment and tap into the 'Waiting Workforce', a vast, underutilised talent pool of 10 million (by 2028) working-age people in the UK who hold a criminal record.
This event is dedicated to showing how inclusive recruitment is no longer just a social exercise, but a vital strategic advantage. By adopting the Fair Chance Charter, businesses across our region are not only solving their immediate staffing needs but are driving generational social mobility and strengthening the economic fabric of our communities.
