Make UK - Unlocking Manufacturing - HMP Featherstone

'Unlocking Manufacturing'

Discover the manufacturing facilities and employment opportunities your organisation could benefit from by partnering with HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) in the 'New Futures Network'.

The 'New Futures Network' is part of HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS). They are a specialist team that help employers find the right people to fill skills gaps and offer production capacity to manufacture goods and provide industrial services in a vast range of prison industries across the UK.

How will they do this?

- find employers

- broker partnerships

- support in providing work opportunities

Work opportunities include:

• Prison Industries: commercial workspace in prisons

• Release on Temporary Licence: risk assessed prisoners are able to leave prison daily to work for employers in the community

• Employment on release: businesses work with prisons, find talent, and offer employment to people at the end of their prison sentence

Interested?

Come and spend time with other Make UK members inside HMP Featherstone on Tuesday 22nd October 2024

The more UK manufacturers engage with the 'New Futures Network' and HMPPS the greater British manufacturers will meet their production. Utilising UK prison industries will help address labour challenges and reduce reoffending in our communities.

Attend this event to understand... How 'New Futures Network' is enhancing prison leaver’s employment prospects upon release and supporting manufacturers with the current labour and skills challenges in the sector.

Ideally suited for... business leaders and those responsible for managing/recruiting people and workplaces.
