We are excited to invite you to our 'Building social mobility in construction' event - delivered in partnership by Browne Jacobson and Constructing Excellence in Wales

This event is dedicated to exploring the practical steps that any construction sector stakeholder can take to increase socio-economic inclusion in their workforce and within the supply chain. By collectively driving and promoting social mobility, our organisations can collaborate to create a more diverse and inclusive construction sector for the benefit of the communities in which we live, and for society as a whole.

You will hear how the power of the supply chain can be harnessed to provide mentoring, work experience, and open the door to more work opportunities and good quality jobs for those who are marginalised in society.

Our speakers will include:

  • Catherine Griffith-Williams - Constructing Excellence in Wales
  • Sarah Atkinson, CEO of the Social Mobility Foundation - TBC
  • Huw Thomas, Leader of Cardiff Council - TBC
  • [Regional Contractor] - TBC
  • Grace Osborne, Senior Social Mobility Inclusion Manager - Browne Jacobson LLP
  • Lawrence Beach, Client Development Director - Acorn by Synergie

Topics will include:

  • the challenges and opportunities that exist for building social mobility in Wales
  • the practical steps that all organisations can take to increase socio-economic inclusion, internally and within the supply chain
  • the lessons learnt and successes enjoyed by a range of stakeholders actively engaging with social mobility 

Register now to secure your spot and be part of a movement that is working towards a more equitable and inclusive future for the construction sector in Wales.
