Borough Council hosts free business events to boost skills and connections across Hinckley and Bosworth
Businesses in Hinckley and Bosworth are invited to take advantage of two free upcoming events hosted by the Borough Council and local partners.
An Employer Engagement Event taking place in November, will focus on inclusive employment practices and explore how businesses can expand opportunities for people with disabilities.
In December, a Business Network event will bring together local professionals to delve into two of the most pressing topics in today’s digital landscape: cybersecurity and artificial intelligence plus other key topics.
The Employer Engagement event will take place at the Dorothy Goodman V6 Centre (LE10 0RB) on Wednesday 12 November, from 9:30am until 11:30am.
Attendees can learn about the support available to employers who are open to developing the opportunities offered to people with disabilities, the ways to do this, the social impact it has and the difference it can make.
The event will provide practical advice and examples on how people with disabilities can make a major contribution to the success of your business, and how businesses can do the same to improve the quality of life for young people with disabilities.
On Wednesday 3 December the business network lunchtime event will take place at the MIRA Technology Institute (CV10 0UX) from 12pm until 2pm.
Businesses attending this event will be able to enjoy a series of short presentations from Pall-Ex, Mira Technology Institute, East Midlands Cyber Security Cluster and Hinckley BID and have the benefit of networking with a wide range of other local businesses.
Topics covered will include cybersecurity, using AI and its implications plus information about a new free learning hub local business can access and breaking down the barriers of work experience.
Bill Cullen, Chief Executive at the Borough Council and Chair of the local Employment and Skills Taskforce said: “These types of events are really valuable for our local business community. They offer a chance to learn about important topics like inclusive employment, cybersecurity and AI, while also connecting with like-minded individuals and organisations. The subjects being covered are extremely relevant right now, and taking time to focus on them could make a real difference to how businesses grow and adapt. I hope local businesses will take the opportunity and come along.”
