Coventry and Warwickshire firms urged to sign up to inclusive employer scheme

The Fair Chance Employer programme was launched by the Warwickshire Skills Hub in November 2021

A business organisation in Coventry and Warwickshire is backing a programme to support employers to be more inclusive.

The Fair Chance Employer Programme, launched by the Warwickshire Skills Hubs in November 2021, has been running a series of extensive support packages for businesses and those looking for work.

Now the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce is lending its support to the programme and is encouraging businesses to sign up as a fair chance employer.

Louise Bennett, chief executive of the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, said: "This is one of those great programmes that really is a win-win.

"Businesses across the region are telling us there is a recruitment crisis and that they need people to be able to grow.

"And there are people across our region who are keen to find employment but may, for a whole myriad of reasons, need some additional support to get into the workplace. Being a fair chance employer is a great way of helping people into work.

"We are backing this wonderful initiative from the Warwickshire Skills Hub and would encourage companies across the patch to find out more about the programme."
