Jaydee will be discussing a new programme of support, following a £1,000,000 investment from LCC called Watchtower. The programme is specifically aimed at the Advanced and Manufacturing Sector (AEM) focusing on recovery and growth from the pandemic. There are 3 areas of support including innovation, diversification, and a skills support service; identifying AEM businesses that have workers at risk or made redundant, supporting those individuals, and ultimately identifying businesses that are recruiting to match and retain our highly skilled workforce.

In a climate where recruiting is tough and unemployment is at an all-time low, this interactive and engaging session will focus on what we need to retain our workforce. Protecting the talent we have rather than lose our talented teams and struggle to replace them.   Rachel’s highly engaging and impactful talk covers the 5 key elements that businesses need to enrich teams and leaders.
