AAI and Impact Funding Partners are proud to bring ‘Diversity Works’ Inclusive Business Seminars back to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
We’re excited to announce the return of our Diversity Works Inclusive Business Project with the Scottish Government and Impact Funding Partners.
AAI builds on its highly-acclaimed 2018 project which saw employers and minority ethnic women job seekers discussing barriers to work which lead to significant changes in companies’ recruitment practices.
AAI’s previous work in this area has highlighted the profound need for employers across Scotland to increase their engagement with diverse communities in order to access talented individuals they may otherwise miss out on.
A choice of two Working Seminars (Edinburgh or Glasgow) will provide an opportunity for Private, Public and Third Sector businesses to examine their current diversity recruitment practices in the context of the labour market in Scotland. Please join AAI and hear from talented minority ethnic women, the organisations working to support them, and other employers with an interest in improving their performance through inclusive recruitment.
Come and talk about why Diversity Works with, amongst others, HR representatives from Aegon Asset Management and Peak Scientific (our two main partners this year who are offering paid placements).
