Pledge Partner Insight Event | Speakers and workshop programme

This half-day event brought together speakers from a number of different areas, who can support employers' activities with young people.

Presentations and additional resource links

Our workshop themes and speakers were carefully selected to reflect feedback from our last employer survey.

Some of our previous employer events were oversubscribed, so we also tried to incorporate topics that had attracted strong interest in the past.

Speaker slides, videos and other supporting resources are linked below.
