Mid Wales businesses - tell us what you need for the future to meet your business goals

6 March 2023

Grow - Define - Deliver Together, an engagement event hosted by the Mid Wales Regional Skills Partnership will take place on the morning of 23 March to give you, the businesses of Mid Wales an opportunity to come together and tell us what you need for the future to meet your business goals.

Come and understand the support and guidance available to you in procurement, tendering, recruitment, skills, and training. If you are a Ceredigion and Powys business thinking about your future workforce needs, come and join us for the morning at the Metropole Hotel, Llandrindod Wells.

Be inspired by other businesses who have faced similar challenges. Network and explore the opportunities around upskilling, training or apprenticeships to help your business now and for the future.

Councillor Bryan Davies, Leader of Ceredigion County Council and Councillor James Gibson-Watt, Leader of Powys County Council, jointly said: "Over the last couple of years there has been little opportunity for businesses in Mid Wales to get together. If you are a business just starting out or even an established business, of any size, and you are unsure of the options that are available to you in recruiting or upskilling staff, then this event is for you. Powys and Ceredigion officers will be on hand to share the support and solutions available, for example tendering and procurement. We welcome this chance to bring businesses together to help prepare Mid Wales for the future."

Key topics that will be explored include Green Skills and Net Zero; looking at ways to prepare and adapt your organisation and supply chains for the green economy, identifying the green skills your workforce needs to succeed and how these can be achieved.

Emma Thomas, Chair of the Mid Wales Regional Skills Partnership said: "We're pleased to invite Mid Wales Business Employers to join us at the 'Grow - Define - Deliver Together' event. Help us to understand your barriers to skills and recruitment, enabling the Mid Wales Regional Skills Partnership to be your voice when and where it matters. You will have the opportunity to join a round table discussion with fellow employers and experts in the field of employment, skills, and training. They will be on hand to listen to your needs, and the challenges your businesses are currently facing, and to offer advice and guidance. This is an important opportunity not to be missed."

The event will be followed by a networking lunch.
