    As industries across the UK face growing skills shortages, it’s crucial to explore untapped talent pools.

    Our panel focuses on how supporting the rehabilitation and employment of ex-offenders can help bridge critical skills gaps while driving inclusive economic growth. Join employers, training providers, and justice sector representatives to discuss the barriers ex-offenders face, successful employment models, and the business and social benefits of second-chance hiring. Hear real-world examples and learn how your organisation can play a role in building a more inclusive, skilled workforce.
