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?

These are just some of the questions that will be answered with the help of some incredible guest speakers, including:

Creating the place:

• Jessica Bowles, Director of Strategy at Bruntwood
• Councillor John Hacking, Executive Member for Skills, Employment & Leisure at Manchester City Council
• Zoe Wallace, Director of Agent Academy.

Early careers talent:

• Dawid Urbanski, Business Graduate at CGI
• A’ishah Khan, Commercial Account Manager at HPE
• Kayanna Gibson, Account Executive at Havas Lynx Group

Employers attracting talent:

• Pavail Aqeel, Senior Technical Recruiter at Roku UK
• Maddi Burns-Hunt, Head of Talent at Bruntwood

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.
