ARE YOU A SMALL THIRD SECTOR ORGANISATION?
A huge thank you to BVSC for kindly sponsoring five bursary place available to small third sector organisations working within employment skills or health at our Birmingham event on 5th November. BVSC supports Birmingham’s voluntary and community sector by providing infrastructure, training, consultancy, and strategic guidance to strengthen social impact and inclusion. It benefits its’ members by fostering collaboration across sectors, amplifying their voices through advocacy, and enabling effective, people-centred approaches to local challenges. BVSC’s involvement is important; like many UK towns and cities, Birmingham is experiencing high levels of economic inactivity, whilst businesses across the area struggle with recruitment, staff retention, and rising operating costs. We want to convene ALL the key stakeholders in the area to address these problems, including those often excluded by cost, so thanks for BVSC for supporting smaller organisations.
You can register for the chance to receive one of these bursary places by emailing marketing@4frontpartners.co.uk with details of what your organisation does and how you would benefit from a free place.
In our 20+ years’ experience of championing Employer Engagement within employment support and adult skills sectors, 4front Partners has seen the same problems play out across the UK;
• Programme commissioning creates multiple, confusing programmes across a disconnected supply system
• The employability and adult skills landscapes are complex and difficult for businesses to navigate
• Any business wishing to explore diverse recruitment and/or workplace development needs to engage with scores of providers to access training offers and fragmented talent pools
• Businesses want help to solve their problems, not to be sold to
• Many employment and skills providers admit to a lack of consistent training for practitioners engaging in business-to-business conversations
The events are perfect for any practitioner or programme that relies on effective relationships with businesses including employment support, adult education, third sector organisations, Local Authorities, Jobcentre Plus – indeed anyone who connects with businesses to achieve their programme objectives.
We will hold events where there is most demand, so if you wish to have an event in your area, why not encourage local partners to fill in the expression of interest too.
4front Partners is a market leader in employer engagement strategy and training. We have supported scores of Employability and training providers with business engagement strategy, trained hundreds of practitioners to be confident and competent at speaking with businesses, advised Local, National and International Governments on labour supply & demand, and helped dozens of businesses with Inclusive Talent Attraction strategies.
