Mind the Gap: Roadblocks and opportunities on the way to diversity in Cornwall

University of Exeter, Penryn Campus

About this eventA key feature of the UK labour market is that of inequality. This is also the case for business in Cornwall, who face a range of issues in recruiting skilled candidates and developing diverse workforces. At the same time, unlocking talent and improving job access for minority and marginalised groups can offer the Cornish economy a significant boost. In recognition of this, we invite you to an event seeking to explore some of those issues and create an opportunity for collaborative interventions.
