Event Details

Date: 4 March2025
Location: Online
Time: 11:00 – 12:00

Ex-offenders can play a crucial role in addressing the skills shortage in construction. Many ex-offenders are eager to turn their lives around and contribute positively to society, and the construction sector offers ample opportunities for hands-on training and career growth.

By getting involved in training or vocational programmes, they can acquire valuable skills while helping to bridge the labour gap, proving that second chances can lead to long-term success for both individuals and the industry.

Join us for an insightful webinar, in collaboration with Wates, developed to educate you on how to employ prison leavers.

The webinar will aim to share with you the knowledge of industry leading specialists.

Attendees will gain valuable tips on understanding prison leavers and how they can help your business grow. Hear good news stories and positive outcomes of businesses recruiting in this field.

The webinar will be hosted by:
