Talent For Growth

Greater Manchester’s economy is diversifying and growing at a rapid pace, creating new and exciting career opportunities for the people who live here. Amid this progression, we need to make sure local people don’t feel locked out and unable to benefit from the success of the region’s evolving landscape and growing success.

We know that thriving places are created by the people and businesses that inhabit them. But how important is the ‘working environment’ when it comes to attracting emerging talent? And can we do more to promote and highlight the benefits of working in a place like Greater Manchester?

We’re inviting digital and tech leaders from Circle Square, and the wider digital and tech community, to join us for an afternoon of inspiring guest speakers and thought-provoking discussions, where we will explore how to attract, develop and retain future talent here.

During this event, you will:

• Find out what future talent really wants from the companies and places they work.
• Learn from best practice organisations, on how to attract, nurture and accelerate future talent.
• Connect with like-minded individuals and build meaningful, beneficial relationships.
• Be inspired to think differently about the future and find new ways of opening your doors to future talent.

Speakers include:

Lou Cordwell OBE – ID Manchester.

Zoe Wallace – Agent Academy.

Dawid Urbanski – CGI.

This event is powered by Agent Academy, led by young people and in partnership with Bruntwood SciTech, so it promises to be fast-paced and inspiring.
