Unlocking Untapped Potential
12 million people in the UK have a criminal record - and across the country, thousands of talented, motivated people remain excluded from the workforce due to past convictions. This untapped talent pool is sadly overlooked at a time when businesses are facing acute skills shortages and increasing pressure to demonstrate meaningful social impact.
Unlocking Untapped Potential will bring together business leaders, community partners, and individuals with lived experience to:
Explore practical approaches for creating inclusive employment opportunities
Discuss the challenges of hiring prison leavers
Share insights, learnings and strategies to enable other organisations to navigate their own recruitment journey.
Why attend?
Hear real stories from KPMG and other organisations about the business benefit and social impact of employing prison leavers and learn practical approaches to inclusive recruitment
Hear from prison leavers about the importance and impact that stable and meaningful employment has had on their lives
Connect with peers committed to driving positive change
