Building social mobility in construction
We are excited to invite you to 'Building social mobility in construction' – an 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.
We will be joined by:
- Rosalind Goates, Head of Advocacy and Campaigns at the Social Mobility Foundation
- Cat Griffith-Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Constructing Excellence in Wales
- Gemma Ellis, Acting Head of Commissioning and Procurement at Cardiff Council
- Lawrence Beach, Client Development Director at Acorn by Synergie
- Grace Osbourne, Senior Social Mobility Manager at Browne Jacobson
Topics will include:
the lessons learnt and successes enjoyed by a range of stakeholders actively engaging with social mobility in the sector;
how the public sector in Wales is seeking to build social mobility through procurement;
the practical steps that all organisations can take to increase socio-economic inclusion, internally and within the supply chain; and
the Social Mobility Index, and how employers are achieving success through engagement with the Social Mobility Foundation.
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.
