Supporting Employability: A Co-ordinated Approach to Employer Engagement

16th June 2010

Employer Engagement is a key priority across all areas in Scotland, in a variety of different contexts, and encompasses issues such as how we tailor the ‘offer’ to and the ‘ask’ of employers both nationally and locally.

The need to develop a more effective and integrated approach to employer engagement nationally and locally becomes even more of a necessity as we move into a very tight fiscal environment.

This event, chaired by Professor Alan McGregor (Director of Training and Employment Research Unit (TERU)/Professor of Economic Development University of Glasgow) was the first in a series of events to initiate the discussion and begin the process of effectively linking-up local delivery.

The proposed date for the next event is Tuesday 26 October 2010 - please pencil this date in your diary!
